A delicious Indian-style version of cheese on toast.<\/p>\n

Cheese on toast has always been one of my favourite snacks, and this version is my \u201cflatbread take\u201d on the sublime Himalayan cheese on toast sold in the restaurant chain Mowgli<\/em>: it is punchy, fragrant and comforting. It is also very easy to make with a good quality commercial Indian chutney.<\/p>\n

I love this as a supper dish or snack, but it is also good when cut into wedges for party food, whether over the festive period or at any time of the year.<\/p>\n

A strong, mature cheese really makes the difference here. For additional flavour, you can add some mustard seeds that have been heated in hot oil until they pop (step 1 of the recipe) but you can leave these out of you prefer. For added heat, feel free to add some chopped red or green chilli to the cheese mixture.<\/p>\n

The bread<\/h3>\n

You can use any type of flatbread: naan, roti, soft tortillas\u2026.or, of course, good sliced bread: the cheese and the chutney is particularly superb on sourdough!<\/p>\n

I sometimes also pop a flatbread on top<\/strong> of the cheese (as well as a flatbread base), press it down and then bake for about 10 minutes so it becomes a kind of Indian quesadilla: I love a bit of fusion cooking!<\/p>\n

Chutneys<\/h3>\n

A key element of these cheese on toasts is a good chutney, ideally with a bit of chilli heat and warming spices in there, and this is where you can go all out with whatever chutneys you like.<\/p>\n

I like mixing a few chutneys together (a spicy, jammy aubergine pickle mixed with a little mango chutney is delicious); but a little lime pickle also perks things up. I\u2019ve even used a commercial curry paste mixed with a little mango chutney and it works superbly.<\/p>\n

I often like to use a tandoori onion chutney: there are some good commercial ones, but I have a recipe for a great tandoori chutney coming soon.<\/p>\n
