Is there anyone out there who doesn't like Iyengar bakery delicacies? Today I'm sharing an extremely popular dish from Bangalore's famous Iyengar Bakeries, i.e., Masala bread Toast.

Every evening when I used to reach home from work, I used to relish this open toast or sometimes vegetable puff along with piping hot chai from an Iyengar bakery beside my apartment complex.

Preparing this Iyengar bakery-style vegetable masala toast at home is very easy and healthy. One can enjoy it as breakfast or a snack. It is also an excellent way to add veggies to your snacks.

You can reduce or skip red chili powder and chaat masala if you make this for kids. Check out more toast recipes like veg chili cheese toast, bread pizza, almond butter chia toast, and avocado toast with everything bagel seasoning.

    Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up
    what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your
    blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to
    everything. Do you have any points for inexperienced blog writers?
    I'd genuinely appreciate it. Cheers!
