Veg Sandwich

Veg sandwich has become my favourite snack recipe. I dont own a sandwich maker so making a sandwich seemed so difficult for me because making sandwich without sandwich maker means the breads would fall apart which would upset me.

But ever since I found this method, It became so easy and sandwiches are easily customisable. You can make them with whatever you have. Read on to know how to make perfect sandwiches in a tawa.

                     

What you will need:

• Bread slices-2
• Onion- 1
• Tomato-1
• Boiled potato-1
• Butter- 1 tbsp
• Tomato ketchup- 1 tbsp
• Green chutney/ Mango mint sauce- 1 tbsp
• Grated cheese- 2 tbsp

How To:

As I told, sandwiches can be customised to your choice. Let me mention few ingredients that I use based on availability.

• Bread- white, brown, whole wheat, multigrain- preferably large so that it can hold more veggies and cheese.
• Spread- tomato ketchup, green chutney, mayonnaise, sandwich spread, mango mint sauce, sandwich dressing
• Vegetables- onion, tomato, capsicum, boiled potato and beetroot, cucumber, carrot
• Cheese- any cheese that you like

1. Slice onion, tomato and boiled potato thinly. Grate cheese.

2. Trim the edges of bread. Take a bread slice. Apply butter on one side. Turn to the the other side. Apply tomato ketchup.

 

3. Arrange onion slices, tomato slices, boiled potato slices on the bread. Spread grated cheese on top.

4. Take the second bread slice. Apply butter on one side and mango mint sauce on other side.Place the bread above cheese with butter side facing the top.

 

5. Press the top of the bread firmly with a spatula. Heat a tawa. Place the sandwich on it. Then place a plate on top of the bread. Place a heavy weight on the plate(I have used mortar and pestle)

 

6. Cook it in low flame for a minute. Remove the weight. Remove the plate(Use a cloth to do so because it would have got heated up by now.)Flip it to the other side and repeat the same process.

 

Slice the sandwich into two and serve with tomato ketchup or any side dish of your choice.

Egg Bhurji with Peas and Capsicum

Eggs and peas are my favourite ingredients and these two put together in a recipe is my all time favourite. But I never plan purposely to make this dish. Few eggs , a handful of peas and a capsicum are what you need for this dish.This is what is usually left in my fridge after a few days of veggie shopping. So this dish always happens by itself at our home mostly for dinner.

What you will need:

• Eggs-4
• Onions- 2 medium sized
• Tomato- 1
• Capsicum-1
• Grean peas- a handful
• Green chillies-2
• Ginger garlic paste- 1 tsp
• Chilli powder- 1 tsp
• Garam masala powder- 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
• Oil- 1 tbsp
• Cumin seeds- 1/2 tsp
• Kasuri methi- 1 tsp
• Coriander leaves- 2 tbsp chopped
• Salt- as needed

How to:

1. Heat oil in kadai. Add cumin seeds, let it splutter. Add finely chopped onions and greeen chillies. Let it get fried for 2 mins. Add ginger garlic paste. 

 

2. When the raw smell of ginger garlic paste leaves, add finely chopped capsicum, let it fry for two mins. Add finely chopped tomato. Add turmeric, chilli, garam masala powder and salt. Mix well and let it cook till tomato turns mushy.

 

3. When the tomato turns mushy, add green peas ,mix well and add 1/4 cup of water. Cover kadai with lid and cook till peas are cooked and water gets dried up.

 

4. When the peas are cooked well , break open the eggs and pour into kadai. Mix well and and add crushed kasuri methi. Let the eggs cook and add corainder leaves and switch off.

 

You can have it along with rotis or plain bread .

P.S:

• You can replace eggs with crumbled paneer and make paneer bhurji in the same way.
• You can skip peas and make it plain egg bhurji.
