Chat on Toast

On any ordinary evening, dinner can be a solemn affair or a dynamo, depending on what is on the table. This particular evening I was looking to satisfy my sweet and sour taste buds without taking much effort. Checked the fridge and found some chutneys lying idle on the shelf. Label on the bread said expires tomorrow. And this way everything fell in place for “Chat on Toast”

Ingredients

Wheat bread -  4 slices

Butter – as desired

Boiled and mashed potatoes – 2 medium

Ginger garlic paste – half tsp

Green, sweet and garlic chutneys – as tolerated

Garam masala – half tsp
