For the Filling
- 300 g potatoes boiled and mashed (about 2 medium)
- 75 g green peas cooked
- 30 g onion finely chopped (about ½ small onion)
- 5 g green chilli minced (optional)
- 1 g cumin seeds about ½ teaspoon
- 1 g garam masala about ½ teaspoon
- 1 g turmeric powder about ½ teaspoon
- 1 g chilli powder about ½ teaspoon
- 15 ml oil
- Salt to taste
For Assembly
- 8 slices bread
- Butter for spreading
Instructions
- Heat oil, add cumin seeds. Once they sizzle, add onion and cook 2 min.
- Add spices, peas, and mashed potatoes. Mix well and cook 2–3 min.
- Spread butter on bread slices. Spoon filling onto one slice, top with another.
- Toast in a sandwich press or pan until golden on both sides.
- Serve with mint chutney or ketchup.
Notes
Ingredient swaps
- You can replace green peas with finely chopped mixed vegetables like carrots or corn.
- Skip the green chilli or reduce it if you prefer a milder filling.
- White bread works best, but whole wheat or sandwich bread is fine too.
- Make sure the potato filling is completely dry before spreading it on the bread. Excess moisture can make the toasties soft.
- Mash the potatoes well so the filling spreads evenly and stays inside while toasting.
- Toast on medium heat so the bread turns golden without burning and the filling heats through.
- The potato filling can be prepared a day in advance and kept refrigerated.
- Assembled toasties are best cooked fresh, but leftover filling keeps well for up to 2 days.
- Reheat toasties on a pan or in a toaster oven to keep them crisp.
- Serve hot with green chutney, ketchup, or tamarind-date chutney.
- These work well as a quick breakfast, tea-time snack, or light meal.
- Add a pinch of chaat masala to the filling for extra flavor.
- Mix in grated cheese for a richer version.
- Sprinkle a little crushed coriander seeds for a more classic samosa-style taste.
