Note-

✍️You can use any type of bread you like .
✍️Milk and sweet bread tends to become too mushy,so I have used sandwich bread.
✍️Using the same masala(after adding salt to it) you can smear it on both sides of the bread slices and toast it in tawa with little ghee and yummy masala toast is ready.
