This dish is ideal for snack boxes/ picnics.

Ingredients	Quantity
Potato	1 cup (boiled  and grated)
Chili Powder	1 ½ tsp or to taste
Onion flakes	to taste (optional)
Garlic Bread Seasoning	to taste (optional)
Bread slices	4 slices
Sesame seeds	1 ½ tsp or to taste
Salt	to taste
Butter	1 tbsp
Tomato ketchup	1 ½ tsp or to taste
Mustard Sauce	1 ½ tsp or to taste

Method

Slightly toast bread slices (with or without butter). They need not be crispy, just dry enough so they don’t become soggy when we add sauce.

In a bowl add potato, salt, onion flakes and garlic bread seasoning, mix well. Divide it into 8 portions.

Cut the bread slices into two pieces diagonally.

Spread the tomato ketchup and mustard sauce evenly on the bread slices. Press down one portion of potato mixture and garnish with sesame seeds. Press down well so they don’t fall of the bread slice when you flip.

Melt butter on a skillet or nonstick pan. Add the bread slices potato mixture side up. Fry till the slices are golden brown. Flip over and add little butter just press and move the slices on the skillet to spread butter and crisp the slice equally throughout. Fry till the potato mixture is golden brown and sesame seeds are golden in color.

Points to remember

Ø  If you are packing the toast for lunch/picnic, make sure the slices have cooled down completely before packing or else the toast will become soggy.

Ø  Grating potatoes will help in avoiding the lumps and the mixture sticks well to the bread slice.

Ø  The seasoning mentioned above can be changed as per your taste and preference.
