- Then spread some butter generously and evenly on all the 12 toasted bread slices.

Notes
- You could make the besan chilla spicy, by adding some green chilies.
- You can use whole wheat, brown, multi grain or white bread for the sandwiches.
- The cabbage can be blanched and then used. But remember to drain the water very well before grating or finely chopping the blanched cabbage.
- You could opt to skip cabbage and only add the carrots and capsicum.
- For more cheesy flavor, add more cheddar if you prefer.
- To toast the bread, you can use an oven or an electric toaster. If you are not a fan of toasted bread, make these sandwiches without toasting the bread.
- Ensure to use a well seasoned skillet or griddle or tawa to make the besan chilla.
