RECIPE NOTES :

Notes: Grilling the tomatoes will enhance the flavour for the topping. Flipping n turning the bread slices is essential. Rubbing garlic is important, because the bread will soak all the flavour of the garlic and you would get the garlic flavour without even eating chopped garlic. For the Indian style you can add some sweet corn and jalapenos if you like.
