Rava Toast, Sooji Toast

Semolina always lends a nice grainy texture to a dish, and when toasted it gives out a wonderful aroma and a rich flavour. This Rava Toast capitalises on these wonderful qualities of semolina. A mixture of semolina with finely chopped veggies is used as a topping on wheat bread slices, and the whole arrangement is toasted till perfectly crisp. A dash of curds lends a bit of tang to the recipe, and also helps roasting, while a sprinkling of chilli powder adds some spice to this recipe.
