Cooking Tips
For the best results, cook the veggie masala filling just until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender but still have a slight bite. Be generous with the spices and fresh herbs. Don’t rush the toasting of the bread – slow and steady gives you that perfect crunch. Shredded cheese melts faster than blocks.
