Brush olive oil on the bread slicesand toast the bread either in a preheated oven at 450 F for 5-7 mins until its cripsy and slightly golden or toast in cast iron pan, until crispy.

Warm up the leftover rajma in microwave quickly if it has been sitting the refriegerator.

Add about a tbsp and ½ on the sliced bread, add the cheese on top. Put it back in the oven for 5 more minutes. Once, the cheese melts simply take it out.

Add some pickled onions, green chilies and garnish it with your choice of herb either cilantro or green onions.

We ate it with a side of arugula salad, just simply tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and black pepper.

You can toast bread anyway you prefer. Oven comes handy if you are making for couple of people.

If you cut the tartines into slices once you have assembled them, you can serve it as appetizer too. Or use smaller bread slice like a baguette.

You can also drizzle some hot sauce, cilantro chutney etc.
