Mushroom On Toast recipe | Cheesy Mushroom Toast (Indian Style) |  Masala Mushroom Toast |

 

This Mushroom on Toast recipe, often known as Cheesy Mushroom Toast (Indian Style) or Masala Mushroom Toast, offers a delightful and quick snack or light meal. It's a fantastic fusion of Western toast culture with vibrant Indian flavors, making it a popular choice for breakfast, tea-time, or even a simple appetizer. The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity and the rich, savory topping that transforms plain bread into a flavorful treat.

 

The base of this delicious toast is simply 6 toasted bread slices. The magic, however, truly happens with the flavorful topping. It begins with 2 cups of chopped mushrooms (khumbh), providing the earthy backbone of the dish. These are complemented by a medley of aromatic vegetables and spices, including 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 tsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun), and 1/4 cup finely chopped capsicum.

 

The topping's preparation starts by heating 2 tbsp of oil in a broad non-stick pan. The garlic and onions are then added and sautéed on a medium flame for just 1 minute until fragrant. Next, the capsicum, 1/2 tsp garam masala, and 1 tsp chilli powder are introduced, mixed well, and cooked for another minute. This quick sauté ensures the vegetables retain a slight crunch while the spices release their aroma.

 

Following this, the mushrooms are added to the pan, mixed thoroughly with the sautéed vegetables and spices, and cooked on a medium flame for 2 minutes, with occasional stirring. The mushrooms release their moisture and absorb the aromatic flavors, becoming tender. Once cooked, the pan is removed from the flame, and the final touches are added: 2 tbsp grated processed cheese for a creamy, binding element, 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania) for freshness, and salt to taste. Everything is then mixed well to combine.

 

To assemble the Mushroom on Toast, the prepared topping is divided into 6 equal portions. Each portion is then spread evenly over a toasted bread slice, ensuring every bite is packed with the delicious mushroom mixture. The toast is then typically cut into triangles, making it easy to handle and serve.

 

This Masala Mushroom Toast is best served immediately to enjoy its warmth and the crispness of the toast. The combination of savory mushrooms, aromatic Indian spices, and a hint of cheese makes it an incredibly satisfying and wholesome snack. Its quick preparation time makes it an ideal option for those busy mornings or when you need a flavorful bite in a hurry.
