Method-
In a sauce pan, add corn, peas, salt and water (around 3/4 – 1 cup) and cook on a low flame for 5 minutes or until the
veggies are cooked.
- I have used frozen corn/peas and it normally doesn`t take much time to cook.
- Drain water. (If you
are using dried green peas, then you must soak overnight, pressure cook for couple of whistles.
- I would recommend fresh
ones over dried peas.)
- Meanwhile, add 1 tsp of oil in a small pan.
- When it is hot add finely chopped onions and saute until it is golden
brown. This will take 3-4 minutes on a medium flame.
-
Add corn, peas and saute for 2-3 minutes.
- It is ok if the veggies are a little moist.
- It will help the spices to blend well.
- Now add pepper powder, amchur
powder, chaat powder and mix it well.
- Add a little more salt if necessary, keep stirring so that it doesn`t stick to the
pan.
- Turn off the gas and let it cool for a while.
- Turn the spatula upside down and mash the peas and corn.
- You can
also use potato masher if you have one.
- This will help the masala to stick to the bread.
- Add finely chopped cilantro leaves and mix it.
-
Divide the masala into equal parts.
- Take 2 slices of bread.
- Add the masala on one bread, spread it and close it with
the other slice.
- Repeat the same for other slices.
- Place them carefully on a sandwich maker and cook until the light goes off (Please refer to the cooking instructions of
your sandwich maker).
- Medium toasted sandwich will take 3-4 minutes approximately.
-
Alternatively, you can toast the bread on a tawa, stuff it with the masala as in the previous step and serve.
