Description - Step 1
Step 1: Prepare the Chaat Mix
In a large bowl, mix onions, tomatoes, and green chillies. Add cumin powder, salt, peri-peri masala, chaat masala, tamarind paste, and green chutney. Toss everything well so the flavours coat each piece evenly. Finish by mixing in freshly chopped coriander for that signature street-style freshness.

Step 2: Toast the Bread
Slice the bread and toast it on a tawa or in an oven until crisp and golden. The texture should be firm enough to hold the toppings but soft inside. You can brush the bread with a little butter or olive oil for added flavour and a rich aroma.

Step 3: Spread the Cheese Layer
Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of cheese spread or grated cheese. The creamy base balances the tangy, spicy topping while adding a smooth texture that holds everything together. Slightly warm the cheese layer to help it melt if you like extra gooey bites.

Step 4: Add the Tamatar Chaat Topping
Spoon the prepared tamatar chaat mixture over each cheesy slice. Press gently so it sticks well and doesn’t slide off when serving. Ensure each bruschetta gets a balanced mix of tomatoes, onions, chutneys, and spices for that perfect chaat-like punch in every bite.

Step 5: Finish with Garlic Sev
Just before serving, sprinkle garlic sev generously on top. It adds a crunch and a garlicky kick that makes this snack irresistible. Avoid adding sev early, as it can turn soggy. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
