Ingredients
- 4 slices bread (any)
- 2 tsps butter (or ghee, optional)
- 1 tbsp oil
- ½ tsp cumin (or jeera)
- 1 tsp garlic (chopped or ½ tsp ginger garlic paste)
- 1 pinch turmeric (or haldi)

- ½ to ¾ tsp garam masala (or pav bhaji masala or any spice powder)

Instructions
- Begin by heating oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Once the cumin starts to sizzle, add garlic (or ginger garlic paste) and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add turmeric, salt, and green chilies. Mix well.
- Stir in the mixed veggies and cook them for about 5-7 minutes until they soften.
- Add the finely chopped (or mashed) tomato and cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture becomes mushy.
- Sprinkle garam masala over the mixture, stir well, and cook for another minute.
- Turn off the heat and add chopped coriander leaves to the mixture.
- Lightly toast the bread slices with butter on one side.
- Spoon the vegetable mixture onto the unbuttered side of two bread slices, and then top with the remaining slices, buttered side up.
- Grill or toast the sandwich until golden brown on both sides.
Notes
You can add cheese for a richer flavor. Use whole grain or sourdough bread for a healthier option. Customize your veggies according to the season or availability.
