What are some Indian sandwiches?
Veg sandwich recipe- A simple mixed vegetable sandwich for breakfast or evening snack you can make in under 15 minutes. This veg sandwich is delicious, healthy, and devoid of sauces, chutney, or cheese. Most sandwich recipes call for some or the other spices, spreads, or cheese. I do not stock up on bottled spreads or sauces as most of these come with loads of creepy ingredients and additives to extend the shelf life. It is hard for me to make any sandwich that has these ingredients listed as I never have them in hand. whenever my people at home ask me for a good sandwich this is something that comes to my mind instantly. This veg sandwich recipe is made without a grill, toaster, or oven. It is just made on a pan or griddle in the simplest way. I have not used any sauce or chutney.
So it is good even to make on a busy weekday morning for breakfast as it needs only a handful of ingredients that we mostly have in the pantry. I have used carrots, onions, corn, beans, and bell pepper. You can also use some boiled potatoes, sliced or cheese if you like. tomato is used for binding veggies, if skipped the filling will turn our dry.
how to make it
1. Smear butter or ghee on the bread and toast them until golden on one side and firm on the other side. While you toast, chop or slice the veggies thinly.
2. Heat oil on a pan, Saute cumin until they crackle. Add garlic and fry until a good smell comes out. I did not have garlic so I used ginger garlic paste.
3. Add chopped, mashed, or pureed tomato. Sprinkle salt and mix.
4. Cover and cook on medium heat until it turns completely soft and mushy.
5. You can add chili powder now and saute it for a minute. I did not use it since I used green chilies in the next step.
6. Add veggies. Saute on a medium to high flame until they are partially cooked. I do not cover and cook since mine gets cooked quickly. If your carrots are not tender, you may need to cover and cook. Sauteing on a high flame lends a smoky flavor.
7. Add pav bhaji masala or garam masala and coriander leaves. Pav bhaji masala works very well for this, If you do not have you can use kitchen king masala or garam masala like me. Adjust the salt and make sure the veggies are at least partially cooked.
8. Place the toasted slices and transfer the veggies over them. If you wish to have cheese, then sprinkle it now. then place another slice of bread. Press down gently, If using cheese, toast it on low heat without burning until the cheese melts. Alternatively, you can also grill in a sandwich maker. Serve veg sandwich hot.
you can also try different sandwiches like paneer sandwich also. You can also make this in a sandwich toaster. For healthier options make the veg sandwich with brown bread or whole grain bread.
