NOTES

to make cheese garlic bread on a stove top:

heat a thick bottomed tawa/griddle on a medium flame. keep the flame to the lowest and place the bread slices on the tawa/griddle. cover with a lid in such a way that the lid does not touch the grated cheese. roast for some minutes till the cheese melts.
