How to make Stuffed Soya Spinach Toast

Healthy Stuffed Soya Spinach Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices whole wheat bread (multigrain works great too)
  • 1/2 cup soya granules or minced soya chunks (rehydrated in hot water and drained)
  • 1 cup spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala or chaat masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or any healthy oil
  • 1-2 tbsp low-fat grated cheese or paneer crumbles (optional)
  • Butter or oil for toasting

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the stuffing:
    Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
    Add chopped onions, green chili, and ginger-garlic paste, sauté until onions turn translucent.
    Add the rehydrated soya granules or minced soya chunks and cook for 5 minutes.
    Add turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
    Add chopped spinach and cook until the spinach wilts and the mixture dries up a bit (about 3-4 minutes).
    Turn off heat and if using, mix in grated cheese or paneer crumbles for extra creaminess.
  2. Assemble the toast:
    Take a slice of bread, spread the soya-spinach mixture evenly on it.
    Top with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
  3. Toast:
    Heat a non-stick pan or sandwich maker.
    Lightly butter or oil the outside of the sandwich.
    Toast on medium heat until both sides are golden and crispy.
  4. Serve:
    Cut into halves and serve hot with green chutney, ketchup, or yogurt dip.

Tips:

  • You can add finely chopped bell peppers or grated carrots to the stuffing for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • For a vegan version, skip the cheese and use vegan bread and plant-based butter.
  • To boost flavor, sprinkle some chaat masala or crushed black pepper while assembling.
