Yogurt Sandwich A.K.A Dahi Toast

Yogurt Sandwich, called Dahi toast in hindi is a protein packed and flavourful sandwich with a creamy yogurt filling. It makes for an excellent breakfast option and a filling afternoon snack. My version has sautéd onions and grated beetroot in the yogurt filling which adds crunch and natural sweetness and balances the sourness of the yogurt. The end result is to die for!
