Ingredients

For the Toasties

2 cups sweet corn (cooked and mashed)
1 onion (finely chopped)
2 green chilies (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
Salt to taste
4 slices of bread
Butter for spreading

Mix all the ingredients well before spreading on the bread.

Instructions

Prepare the Masala Corn Mixture

In a bowl, combine the cooked and mashed sweet corn, chopped onion, green chilies, cumin seeds, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Assemble the Toasties

Spread a generous amount of the masala corn mixture on two slices of bread. Top with another slice of bread to form sandwiches.

Cook the Toasties

Heat a pan over medium heat and add butter. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side.

Serve

Remove from the pan, cut into halves or quarters, and serve hot with ketchup or chutney.

Tips for Making the Best Toasties

To enhance the flavor of your Masala Corn Toasties, consider adding some finely chopped fresh coriander or a squeeze of lemon juice to the corn mixture. These additions can brighten up the dish and add a refreshing contrast to the spices. Experiment with different spices based on your preference; a pinch of chaat masala can add an extra zing.

If you prefer a crispy texture, try using thicker slices of bread or even a sourdough variety. The sturdiness of the bread can hold up better against the moist corn filling, providing a satisfying crunch when toasted.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftover Masala Corn Toasties, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To maintain their crispiness, reheat them in a toaster or a pan over low heat rather than using a microwave, as microwaving can make the bread soggy.

For meal prep, you can prepare the masala corn mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When you're ready to enjoy your toasties, simply assemble and cook them fresh for the best flavor and texture.
