VEGETABLE TOASTER SANDWICH
I made these veg sandwiches on Sunday for dinner as we had been eating far to much rich food and wanted to give ourselves a break both from heavy foods and also the Jikoni.
In Africa we used to call this the chamcho sandwich as we used a metal divice with long handles over a flame and toasted the sandwich in this way. Now with the electric sandwich maker, there is no need for the roasting of the sandwich over the gas flames.
Fillings can be varied to your liking, from cheese to vegetables. Here I have used a vegetable masala filling. It not only tastes delicious but goes well with a hot cuppa chai.
1 large potato diced
1 cup peas
1 cup chees grated
1/2 cup spring onion’s chopped ( optional)
butter
8 slices bread
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
pinch turmeric powder
2 fresh green chili finely chopped
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Heat the oil in the skillet, add cumin seeds. once it stars to crackle add potatoes and peas, stir all together add chopped chilies, salt, turmeric powder, mix well. cover the lid and cook on medium heat, stirring in-between until cooked. Turn the heat off add chopped spring onion’s mix well and set the mixture aside.
Slice the edges of the bread . Butter one side of the bread and place the slice, buttered side onto the toaster. add about 2 tablespoons of the prepared masala mixture, top with handful of grated chees. Cover with second bread slice, place butter side up on the top and toast for about 2 minutes or till its crispy and golden brown. Enjoy garma garam sandwich with a hot cuppa chai or soup.
