When ~nm posted her favourite sandwich , I realized that I have missed mine.This has been everyone's favourite ever since I made it first time after my wedding. Its one of my mummy's easy simple recipe and I just love it.
Ingredients
Cheese - 1 cube grated.
Finely Chopped :
Onion - 1
Tomato - 1
Capsicum - 1/2
Cabbage - handful
Carrot - 1
Salt
Pepper /Red chilli powder
(Husband is allergic to pepper , so I use red chilli powder , Mom used pepper)
Oil - 1 tsp
Heat the oil and saute the onion. Add the remaining vegetables and saute for 5 mins. Add salt and pepper. Add grated cheese and mix well. Sim and leave till the cheese is melted and mixed well with the vegetables. If the vegetables leave excess water , roast till its gone.
Let the filling cool off for few minutes. And then fill the same between slices and grill /roast them on tava.
Variations :
1. Cottage Cheese (Paneer) can be used in place of cheese. Thats tastes yummy as well.
2. Finely chopped Cucumber can be added to the mixture , just before filling between the slices.
Aryan has started loving this recently. And I think its quite healthy. This should be given to kids after they start chewing properly.

Vegetable - Cheese Sandwich
Tomato - Onion Sandwich
This is a very simple sandwich variation which I usually make on the tawa/girdle but can be made in the toast makers as well.
Ingredients:
- Tomato
- Onion
- Dhaniya/Coriander leaves (optional)
- Salt
- Red chilli powder (optional)
- Finely dice the tomato and onions.

- Mix them together in a bowl and add salt and chilli powder.

- Butter up one side of the slice and put the buttered side down on the tawa.
- Spread the mixture with a spoon and put one slice of bread over it and press it with your palms or a flat ladle as you feel comfortable.
- When its almost done on one side, apply butter on the upper slice and flip it.

- Once done, cut it into 2 halves. I cut it into 4 squares for Betu as it makes it easier for him to eat that way. Eat it with Ketchup or plain as you like it.

- Add grated cheese into the mixture as mentioned above.
- You can use mashed boiled potatoes roasted with cumin(zeera) and onions as a filling.
- You can make mixed veggie sandwich by finely chopping the veggies and saute them in butter

spinach and corn sandwich
Ok! This is the first time I am putting across a recipe (am not much of a cook anyway), so I really dont think I can put measures like you women! :( But experienced Mommy's and cooks that you are, am sure your andaaza will work just fine! :)
Kabir still doesn't have teeth, but that doesnt stop him from tasting everything we eat! :)
So here goes!
Ingredients
Palak (you know how less palak becomes after being cooked, so take quantity accordingly)
Sweet Corn - Fresh/frozen - a small handful.
Mayonnaise - I use Fun Foods garlic Mayo.
Salt to taste
What Next?
Finely chop the washed Palak leaves and pressure cook with little water for approx 2 whistles. Keep the sweet corn in warm water for 5 mins to thaw and soften naturally (this applies to frozen corn, never used fresh).
Drain excess water from palak, add a spoonful of mayo, sweet corn and salt to taste and mix well. Toast brown bread as per your liking and spread the filling between 2 slices of bread.
Your palak and corn sandwich is ready! Ketchup not reccoed unless you can't eat sandwich without it! :)
