I had posted this recipe, perhaps during the initial days of my blogging, but I am revisiting it for 2 main reasons. Firstly, the topping I used was not a street style. It had more cheese with less amount of herbs and spices in it. Perhaps, it was more like a simple cheese garlic bread. Whereas this time I have loaded with many desi stuffings to get an authentic desi street style. Secondly and more importantly, in my previous post, I had only one way and I had missed the authentic desi sandwich toast method. In this, I have shown both ways with a single topping and hence you may prepare either one or both ways. Having said that, if you do not have a sandwich toast, you may very well use just the toaster or grill to prepare it. You may have to be cautious with stuffing as it may spill out, especially when it is pressed. Do try this simple way and let me know your thoughts on it.
