Ingredients

8 slices bread
¼ cup vegan cream cheese
1 cup yellow corn
1 bell pepper
3 tablespoon cilantro
2 green chillies
½ onion
8-10 cloves garlic
½ cup shredded cheese
1 tablespoon chaat masala
½ tablespoon cumin powder
½ tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
salt
2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
2 teaspoon oregano optional

Instructions

The first step is to toast the bread slices. Smear some vegan cream cheese over the bread slices before toasting. You can either toast them in a toaster or line a baking tray with parchment paper and broil them on low for 2-3 minutes in the oven till they turn brown and crisp. Be careful to not burn them.
Meanwhile, thaw frozen yellow corn and chop the bell pepper. Transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Add chopped cilantro, green chilies (reserving 1-2 tablespoons for garnish), onions, and minced garlic.
Then mix in the shredded cheese, chaat masala, paprika, cumin powder, and crushed black pepper.
Add lemon juice and salt as needed and give it all a good mix.
Spread a generous helping of this mixture over the bread slices.
Top it with a generous layer of grated cheese.
Garnish with remaining cilantro and green chilies and broil at low temperature (400 degrees F) for 2-3 minutes or till the cheese melts.
Take it out of the oven and serve immediately. Sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes and oregano on top if you want to up the taste and spice quotient.
Drizzle some ketchup/vegan mayo/chutney on top or serve them on the side.

Notes

If you like the flavor of nutritional yeast, you can use that instead of cheese. Feel free to add in more veggies of your choice like mushrooms, broccoli, olives, etc.

Throw in some greens like spinach, kale, fenugreek leaves to make this Indian corn recipe even more nourishing. In place of cream cheese, you can use butter, sour cream, pesto, or chutney.

Since chaat masala, lemon juice and cheese are already salty, add salt only at the end and that too after tasting the mixture.

If you are not vegan, use Amul cheese when making this chilli cheese toast. Also, add some grated paneer to the mix. It tastes amazing!
