Serves 2
Ingredients
- 4 slices of a standard white bread, crusts removed
- For stuffing/filling:
- 1 tbsp. ‘malai’ or double cream
- 3 tbsp. thick ‘dahi’ or yoghurt (Greek style yoghurt is good)
- 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp. paneer cheese (you can use Feta or cottage cheese)
- 1 green chilli, finely sliced (optional)
- 1 tsp. chopped coriander leaves
- 1/4 tsp. salt or to taste
- A good sprinkle of ground black peppers
- 5-6 raisins (optional)
- For ‘Tarka’ or tempering:
- 1 tbsp. cooking oil of choice
- 1/2 tsp. rai or mustard seeds
- 6-7 curry leaves or meetha neem patta
Instructions
- Mix double cream, yoghurt, paneer, chilli, coriander leaves, salt, black pepper and raisins, if used. This is stuffing.
- Divide stuffing into 2 portions.
- Fill one portion of stuffing between 2 slices of bread each and make 2 sandwiches.
- Slice each of the sandwich diagonally into two triangles. You now have four triangles.
- Heat oil in a frying pan. Add mustard seeds and curry leaves. Keep a lid on or the seeds will splutter everywhere.
- When the seeds are spluttering nicely, turn heat to low and shallow fry sandwich on both sides, until nice and crisp.
- Serve hot with a green chutney or ketchup.
