Prepare the Vegetables
Start by finely chopping all the vegetables so they cook evenly and sit well on the bread. Deseed the tomatoes to prevent sogginess and dice them into small pieces. Chop the onion finely and slice the green chilies into tiny bits, adjusting the quantity to your spice preference.

Prepare the Bread and Cheese
Lay the bread slices flat on a baking tray. Grate the cheese fresh for the best melt and flavor. Lightly sprinkle a base layer of cheese onto each slice so the toppings stick well during baking.

Evenly distribute the chopped tomatoes, onions, and chilies over the bread slices. Add another layer of cheese on top to cover the vegetables and prevent burning. Sprinkle fenugreek leaves and mixed herbs for that signature Indian flavor, adding spinach if using.
