To make Vegan Potato Sandwich (Aloo masala sandwich)

- Spread the potato masala on one slice all over and cover it with another slice of bread.
- Place this on hot toaster/grill. Apply oil on top of sandwich. Close the lid and wait for a couple of minutes to get golden crisp crust.

Notes
1. To make sandwich you may use whole wheat, sourdough or any kind of sandwich bread that you prefer.
2. Leftover day old bread works well too here to make sandwich as it crisps well after brushing oil for toasting/grilling.
3. This sandwich can be made on tawa/griddle also.
4. You can add cheese slice and toast them in butter if you are not vegan.
5. You can spread some green chutney on the inside before placing the potato stuffing, if you wish to serve them right away.
