Yogurt Sandwich A.K.A Dahi Toast

Yogurt Sandwich, known as Dahi Toast in Hindi, is a protein-packed and flavourful sandwich featuring a creamy yogurt filling. It makes an excellent choice for breakfast or a satisfying afternoon snack. My version includes sautéed onions and grated beetroot mixed into the yogurt, adding a delightful crunch and natural sweetness that perfectly balances the tanginess of the yogurt. The end result? Absolutely to die for!
