This Indian corn cheese toast recipe is my go-to recipe on busy days. I used to have this a lot during my college days from a local street food vendor. Since then I have become a fan of this Indian corn recipe. The only change I made to this dish was to make it vegan! Yes, it’s a vegan sandwich recipe.
I always prefer quick meals over elaborate ones and of course, I like savory over sweet for snacking! This is why you will find more of these recipes here and all of them are a hit in our home. Feel free to browse through these categories for ideas - breakfast, appetizers, and snacks.
I have many happy memories of enjoying street food with my family and friends. Be it the Bombay Sandwich, Vada Pav, Ragda Pattice, Bhel Puri, or Pav Bhaji - our days would feel incomplete without these dishes! During monsoons, Dad and I would have one Masala Corn/Bhutta every day! It was our favorite evening snack.
Being a lover of street food, I also enjoy creating fun fusion recipes like Mexican Pani Puri, Puff Pastry Samosa, Dabeli Pizza, Indian Curry Pasta, Matar Kachori Pinwheels, and Tandoori Cheese Quesadillas. They are so good!
Cream Cheese - I used Kite Hill Cream Cheese that’s dairy-free. But if you want, you can also use vegan plain/flavored butter instead.
Cheese - For this recipe, the more cheese the better it is! Use any vegan cheese (sliced/shredded/grated) that melts.
Veggies - Bell peppers and frozen yellow corn are the two main ingredients in this Indian snack recipe. Other than these, you will also need onions which will give it a nice crunchy flavor.
Spices - Chaat masala, freshly crushed black pepper, paprika, and cumin powder give this Chilli Cheese Toast a very nice smack!
Cilantro (or parsley), garlic, and green chilies/serrano peppers/jalapenos for additional flavoring.
There are many ways in which you can serve them. Serve them as is, cut them in triangles, or cut them as breadsticks. You can also serve them as a regular sandwich instead of an open-faced one. This vegan sandwich recipe can be made for parties and it will be a HIT when served! We enjoyed it for breakfast and lunch! So it is pretty versatile and can be had for any meal of the day! Kids will love it because of the cheese and you can secretly sneak in all the veggies! Perfect, isn’t it? While wine would taste amazing with it, here are some non-alcoholic beverages that pair well with this snack depending on the season.
