Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat a tawa or toaster on medium heat. If using a tawa, ensure it is clean and lightly greased with a few drops of oil.

   2 minutes

   Use a heavy-bottomed tawa for even toasting.

2. 2

   Place the whole wheat bread slices on the tawa or insert into the toaster. Toast until golden brown and crisp on both sides, flipping if using a tawa.

   5 minutes

   Monitor closely to avoid burning; adjust flame as needed.

3. 3

   Optional: While still warm, lightly spread homemade white butter or a few drops of olive oil on each slice for extra flavor.

   2 minutes

   For a vegan version, skip butter or use plant-based spreads.

4. 4

   Arrange sliced tomato and cucumber on the toasted bread. Sprinkle black pepper and rock salt for a tangy, fresh taste.

   3 minutes

   Add grated paneer for protein or skip for a lighter version.
