WATERMELON.....

I just love this fruit and I can consume even an whole fruit without any problem...

Last weekend we were at   DAHANU   a small beach town about 2 hours drive from Mumbai....









While driving back I saw these awesome fruits in piles along the road side and there was nothing that could stop me from having a bite..

I had posted about this earlier in 2011 .. But let me tell you that a Watermelon is a great dish when you have a nice spicy meal keep it at the table with a little salt and chaat masala sprinkled on it.. It refreshes you instantly.

Watermelon is one of the most refreshing, thirst quenching fruit available year round now even in India.

 

Watermelon consists of 92% water and 8% sugar.
Watermelons are an excellent source of several vitamins: vitamin A, which helps maintain eye health and is an antioxidant; vitamin C, which helps strengthen immunity, heal wounds, prevent cell damage, promote healthy teeth and gums; and vitamin B6, which helps brain function and helps convert protein to energy.
 



It has the highest concentrations of lycopene of any fresh fruit or vegetable.
so that dayI purchased one whole for later use and ate a plate full of freshly cut fruit that you see above.



QUICK SANDWICH...

This was a quick sandwich I made for my son because there was nothing else in hand that he would like with is sandwich bread..
This is an easy and filling sandwich which  can be made in 10 mins flat and you can even make a lot of changes as per choice i will suggest a few changes which you can incorporate into the sandwich making.

I used ready schezwan chutney for this recipe you can make schezwan sauce at home too .
spread one side of  your bread slice with butter , on the other slice you can smear with a spoon of schezwan sauce keep a cheese slice on top and sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning a little pepper and chilli  flakes.. 
which gives a tangy , yummy Sandwich.





 I am sorry, I did not take a picture of the sandwich open.. I just took the outer picture as I was in a hurry.




 
You can add your own things like a scrambled egg . boiled potato finely sliced some finely chopped onions etc.
