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.
