Simple Sandwich

Happy New Year All!

This is my first post of the year, and it happens to be a simple, easy sandwich. I made it yesterday for my girls. It took less than 10 minutes to prepare and pack as an after-school snack. Here’s the recipe.

Sundal Sandwich

This is a easy breezy sandwich and a nice way to use the leftover sundal.  I made sundal for weekend evening snack and as usual one of my twin didn't eat properly. I had half cup of sundal and i didn't want to waste it. I used it for my breakfast sandwich, the next day.

Ingredients:-

1. Bread slices - 2
2. Garbanzo sundal - 1/2 cup
3. Butter - to spread
4. Cheese slices - 1

Take a pan, toast the bread slightly. Spread the butter, sundal and place the cheese slice on top of the sundal and cover it with the other bread slice. Now toast it again in the pan, it till becomes golden brown. It was really filling and a nice way to start your day with this protein rich breakfast.

Paruppu Usli Sandwich :)

Yesterday I made Vaazhapoo Paruppu Usli & Sepagezhangu More kozhambu for dinner. My girls generally like to take beans paruppu usli. Whenever I feed them, I make sure they take vaazhapoo usli too. But now a days they have started eating by themselves. So yesterday, no luck with vaazhapoo paruppu Usli :(. Now I have two full cups of this usi in my fridge. Wanted to make use of it in a good way. So I had it as sandwich spreading it in between two bread slices. It may be sound wierd but it was really yummy surprisingly!! Here goes the recipe..

Ingredients:-

1. Wheat Bread slices - 2
2. Paruppu Usli  - 2 tbsp
3. More kozhambu - 1 tsp
4. Butter - to spread

Toast the bread, spread the butter on both the bread slices and spread the usli on one of the bread slices and spread the more kozhambu on the other one. Cover it on top of the other slice and cut it into two halves. It tastes really good by itself with out anything to dip.

This sandwich also goes to Srivalli's Sandwich Mela.

Strawberry Sandwich

If you love to eat strawberry, then you should be loving this sandwich. I came across this sandwich recipe while reading a magazine. Forgot the name of the author. But its from family circle magazine couple of years old edition..  One of my twin loves to eat strawberries in any form. After seeing that recipe, I wanted to try it with my girlie. She really liked it too.  Its one of the easiest recipe I have ever made and the taste was awesome...Here goes the recipe...



Ingredients:-

1. Whole wheat Bread Slices - 2
2. Butter - to Spread
3. Strawberries - 2 or 3 (depending upon the size)

Toast the bread to light brown. Cut the strawberries to small pieces. Spread the butter on the both the breads.  Keep the strawberry pieces on top of one and cover it with other bread.

I am sending this to Srivalli 's Sandwich Mela.

Grilled Sandwich with Veggies

First of all thank to all my buddy bloggers who visited my site during my absense. First my husband was sick with flu then I got sore throat and now one of my twin is sick. Couldn't concentrate on my blog for the past one week. One my twin hates to eat veggies. But she likes this grilled cheese sandwich. So I wanted to try adding veggies in it and grill it. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:-

1. Bread slices - 2
2. cheese singles - 1 (or 2 according to your taste)
3. Green peas - 1 tsp
4. Shredded carrot - 1 tsp
5. Shredded bell pepper - 1 tsp
6. Spinach - 1 tsp
7. Black Olives - 4 (chop it finely)

I first toast the bread lightly and add the cheese and on top of cheese just arrange the vegetables and olives. If you are using 2 slices of cheese, then cover the veggies with the second piece now and put the second piece bread slice on top of the veggies (or cheese). Just heat the dosa pan, put toast this sandwich till it becomes golden brown on both sides, keeping a slighly heavy vessel on top of it. I usually use coffee mug to place it on top of the bread slices. Cut it into half and serve it hot with tomato sauce. My little one liked this very much and she started eating veggies now a days. I don't know how long this is gonna help me. I have to think something new before she gets bored with this one (!)
