Sandwich with corn



Reminds you of Subway? Well if you or your children are addicted to those footlong Subway sandwiches, then here are some other options for you to try at home. And let's make it a bit 'desi' by adapting the filling a bit.


Sandwiches are typically made by wrapping some food items such as vegetables, sliced cheese or meat between two or more pieces of bread that serve as a container or wrapper. Children today like to take sandwiches as part of lunch, taken to school. Though sandwiches are widely available in restaurants and cafes, they can be very easily made at homes as well. When you make them at home, you can choose to include healthy food within the the wrap, thus making sure that you get the right nutrition out of it.


Today let me introduce one sandwich, which has some healthy vegetables wrapped inside. It contains corn along with carrot, tomatoes and onions as the filing. In this Sandwich I also used cream cheese, especially to make the bread softer and make the sandwich tastier for the children.



Ingredients:


Steamed corn: 1 bowl,
Onion (big): medium size, cut in to cube shapes,
Carrot : 1no (cut in to small pieces),
Tomato sauce: As needed (I typically use 1 table spoon),

Capsicum: One piece (cut into thin pieces),
Salt: As needed
Ghee or oil: As needed


Method of Preparation


Take one pan pour some ghee into this. Add the onion pieces, saute the onions. Once the onions turn golden brown, add the carrot pieces and salt. Saute it well. Once they are cooked well, add the steamed corn and tomato sauce. Mix everything well and, switch off the flame. Keep it aside.

Take two bread slices, and spread some cream cheese on the top. Fill the mixture in between the two slices. Put it in the sandwich maker or a pan. Your sandwich will be ready in 5 minutes.
