Sesame toast
Also called: sesame toast, sesame seed toast, sesame toasted bread, sesame toast (toasted), sesame bread toast, sesame-toast, sesame toaste (misspelling), til toast
Sesame toast is that crispy, golden snack you spot in roadside stalls, school canteens, or evening chai breaks. Usually served as crunchy triangles with a spicy veggie filling and a sesame topping, it has that nice mix of toast, masala, and a little street-style drama — proper teatime comfort.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 toasted triangle)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This one has some small bits of veg like capsicum, carrot, spring onion, and potato, so you get a little fiber and some vitamin C, but the overall fiber is still quite low because the bread base is mostly refined. Sesame seeds do bring a bit of healthy fat and calcium, which is a nice plus, but the ketchup, chilli sauce, and ajinomoto add more sodium and can make it a bit salty for the gut. Best tip: pair it with fresh cucumber, onion, or a bowl of curd on the side so the meal feels lighter and kinder to digestion.
