Sandwich (Iyengar's Bakery Style open sandwich)

Bakery style sandwich -we would have tasted varieties of sandwiches but this sandwich is prepared in a unique way, by spreading topping on one side of toasted bread and the topping is visible, so it is also known as an open sandwich.

As per my knowledge, It is a popular in bangalore in iyengar's bakery. Not claiming to  be same exact recipe but i have made a bit of variation to the recipe. It is an easy and simple snack to make as the masala topping is applied on one side of bread and toasted on a tava/pan.
