Tomatoes, cheese, and toasted bread are three things that obviously taste good together. The wild card ingredient in this recipe is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rani-Masala-14-Spice-Indian-Seasoning/dp/B0783GTPLV?tag=food52-20">chaat masala</a>, the funky, salty spice blend that brings this simple tomato-cheese toast to an entirely different level. It enhances the flavor of the already umami-filled ingredients and gives the dish a level of craveability that you just have to taste to believe. This dish is for my rough days, when there’s nothing in my fridge except cheese and almost-overripe tomatoes and I want a five-minute dinner (or afternoon snack) that will still feel filling and satisfying. Also, just putting it out there: The best possible accompaniment to tomato-cheese masala toast is a glass of milk. Nothing else cuts through all that salt and keeps you refreshed between bites in quite the same way. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!!! <br /> <br /><em>Excerpted from </em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Indian-ish-Recipes-Antics-Modern-American/dp/1328482472?tag=food52-20">Indian-ish</a><em> © 2019 by Priya Krishna with Ritu Krishna.
