Vegetable sandwiches (Cheese optional)

Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serving: 2-3 People

Ingredients:

  1. Bread: 1
  2. Cucumber: 1 Medium
  3. Tomato: 2 Medium
  4. Onion: 1 Small
  5. Boiled potato: 1-2 (optional)
  6. Butter / Nutralite / Curd : 80 gm
  7. Dhaniya chatni (optional): 2 tbsp
  8. Chat Masala (Catch/ MTR/ Homemade) (If chat masala is not there you can use pepper & salt instead)
  9. Cheese cube :2 (Optional)  
Method
  1. Cut Cucumber and Tomato in thin round slices. Ensure slices are apptly thin otherwise the sandwich doesn’t set well.
  2. (If you have boiled potato available -Cut Boiled potato in thin round slices)
  3. Chop onions in small pieces [We don’t want to add lots of onion hence just small chopped pieces)
  4. Take butter / Nutralite If just taken out from refrigerator melt it a bit (if doing in Microwave 10 seconds is enough)
  5. If you are health conscious and avoid butter / Nutralite , follow below steps and use curd instead.
    1. Hang curd for 20 minutes to get excess water out.
    2. Add little chat masala  / pepper to this and mix well.
    3. Use this as a spread for bread.


  6. Take a pair of bread slices, Apply Butter / Nutralite / Curd on both slices.
  7. (If you have dhaniya chatni available, spread little dhaniya chatni on top of Butter / Nutralite / Curd)
  8. On one of the slice, place cucumber on bread.
  9. (If adding boiled potato add it above cucumber)
  10. Add tomatoes (Since the sandwich will be later cut into 2 triangles, I try to place veggies in a way that after cutting, both triangles have 3 cucumber and 1 tomato each)
  11. Add some chopped onions for taste.
  12. (If adding cheese, grate cheese and place it on top of veggies)
  13. Add Chat masala / Salt pepper [Please note if using curd mixed with chat masala / pepper then add small quantity of Chat masala / Salt pepper in sandwich.]
  14. Place the other slice of bread on top of this (with butter facing inward)
  15. Place on chopping board and cut corners of bread with knife.
  16. Cut in 2 triangles.
  17. To garnish add round slices of tomato as shown in picture above, and Vegetable sanwiches are ready to be served.

Tip: Place sandwiches in a hot case. Spread aluminum foil in hot case and close lid after placing sandwiches. This avoids sandwiches to get dry in open air.

Tip: If preparing sandwiches with curd, consume them as soon possible else bread may get soggy in curd.

P.S: These sandwiches taste great when accompanied with Cold Coffee, for which I ll share the quick recipe soon :).
