TIPS
- You can cut either in the form of triangles or rectangles. Place some ketchup or green chutney on each half so as to increase color.
- You can also add shredded (boiled) chicken or paneer, if required.
- Instead of putting capsicum raw, you can grill in oil or butter along with herbs so that it becomes soft.
- When cheese spread isn’t available. Mix hung curd and some milk cream to make the spread.
