Tips

Tip number 1

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.

Tip number 2

You can also add shredded (boiled) chicken or paneer, if required.

Tip number 3

Instead of putting capsicum raw, you can grill in oil or butter along with herbs so that it becomes soft.

Tip number 4

When cheese spread isn’t available. Mix hung curd and some milk cream to make the spread.
