Cheese Toast
India’s version of grilled cheese, a popular sandwich worldwide, is filled with masala and spices and is referred to commonly as cheese toast. There is only one melting cow’s milk cheese produced commercially in India (and available worldwide at Indian grocers)- amul, a distinctly delicious cross between American cheddar and the Swiss Gruyere. One of my favorite breakfasts growing up and best served with sweet mango chutney, this cheese toast is great with a cup of masala chai.
