Minty Vegetable Sandwich
My mother-in-law makes this very yummy sandwich and I fell in love with it at first try. I've been making it quite often since then and is perfect for a quick meal, especially if you have the mint chutney on hand.
I wanted to send this for the sandwich event but I just realized that I'm too late, unfortunately.
3) Dot the top and bottom of the sandwich with some butter/margarine and pop into a sandwich toaster and cook till it's golden brown - as simple as that.

This reminded me of the sandwiches we ate from the roadside sandwich wallas in Blore, same ingredients and to die for! :) Looks delicious Laavi dear :)
ReplyDeleteThe sandwich sounds delicious .. can't wait to try it!! A tip I learned for making perfectly grilled sandwiches: instead of buttering the outside of the bread, spread a thin layer of mayo. It's easier to spread and evenly coats the bread. Makes perfect grilled sandwiches every time!!
