Potato spinach sandwich

This is a very popular form of sandwich in India and is really quick to make. Only variation to original recipe is addition of spinach to it. Normally its made using potatoes as the filling.

Ingredients:

For the filling

Boiled potatoes - 2 (big sized)
Tomato - 1
Spinach - 1 cup (finely chopped)
Oil - 1 teaspoon
Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tea spoon
Salt - to taste

For assembling the sandwich

bread slices (wholemeal or plain)
spread / butter

Recipe

Take boiled potatoes in a bowl and mash them. Take tomato and spinach and chop them finely.


 Heat oil in a pan and add some mustard seeds to it, as soon as it starts to crackle.


Add chopped tomatoes to this.  As tomatoes start getting soft add finely chopped spinach to this. Add turmeric and salt to taste at this point. This will help spinach and tomatoes to get well cooked, spinach will start leaving a bit a water just wait till it is getting a bit dryer. (Don't make it too dry, it just doesn't need to be watery)


Add potatoes and mix well. Take it off the flame and keep aside.


Now assembling the sandwich

Put a slice of bread on your work surface spread the filling mixture on the top.


Then add another slice to it. As shown in the above picture.



Spread butter or spread on both the sides and keep it in grill until its done. Else you may be able to do it on a flat pan on the hob as well.



You will enjoy these hot much better, soft inside and crispy outside... and very filling and healthy meal. you may wish to have this with tomato ketchup but they are just as good on their own. Endless variations to this can be made. I will keep adding as and when I will be making them, here.

Serves well for lunchboxes as well.

Looks and tastes heavenly...YUM..YUM...YUMMY

Hope you like these as much as we do !!

Happy cooking :-)
