Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by boiling the potatoes until soft. Once boiled, peel and mash them while they are still warm. This will help them retain a smoother texture.
-
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with finely chopped coriander leaves, green chilies, and chaat masala powder. Add salt to taste, mixing well to combine the flavors.
-
Assemble the Toast: Take a slice of your preferred bread (French loaf or regular sliced bread). Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture evenly on one side of the bread slice.
-
Coat with Sesame Seeds: Pour the sesame seeds onto a plate. Carefully flip the bread with the potato mixture onto the plate with the sesame seeds. Gently press the bread into the seeds so the potato mixture gets fully coated with the sesame seeds.
-
Fry the Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a dollop of butter. Once the butter has melted, place the bread slice in the skillet with the sesame-coated side facing down. Shallow fry the toast for about 10 minutes, or until the sesame seeds turn a light golden brown.
-
Flip and Crisp: After the sesame seeds are lightly browned, flip the bread over and cook for an additional few minutes until the other side is crisp and golden.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Sesame Potato Toast hot as a delicious evening snack alongside masala chai, or as a tasty appetizer for your next dinner gathering.
Tips:
- You can substitute the French loaf with any bread of your choice, such as white, whole wheat, or multigrain, to suit your preference.
- If you prefer a spicier toast, add more green chilies to the mashed potato mixture or sprinkle some chili powder on top before serving.
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding grated cheese on top of the potato mixture before frying. This will give a melty, cheesy texture to the toast.
Enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness of Sesame Potato Toastβa treat thatβs sure to brighten up any snack time!
