Vegetable Sandwich

This Vegetable Sandwich is a flavorful and nutritious Indian breakfast option, packed with fresh vegetables and aromatic spices. Perfectly toasted, it's a delightful start to the day that combines taste and health.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat bread - 4 slices
• Potato - 1 medium (boiled and mashed)
• Carrot - 1 small (grated)
• Cucumber - 1 small (thinly sliced)
• Tomato - 1 small (thinly sliced)
• Onion - 1 small (finely chopped)
• Green chili - 1 small (finely chopped, adjust to taste)
• Fresh coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Butter or ghee - 2 tablespoons
• Chaat masala - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potato, grated carrot, chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and chaat masala. Mix thoroughly to create the vegetable filling.
2. Take two slices of whole wheat bread and spread a layer of butter or ghee on one side of each slice.
3. Spread a generous amount of the vegetable filling evenly on the unbuttered side of one slice.
4. Layer the sliced cucumber and tomato on top of the filling, then top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting.
6. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
7. Once toasted, remove from the skillet, cut into halves or quarters, and serve hot with green chutney or ketchup.
