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.

EGGY MASALA TOAST......

I have a friend who is a pure vegetarian girl, they never even cook an egg in their home i.e. her mom in law has never ever touched an egg.

But funny as it is her son once tasted an egg masala toast quite accidentally from his friends tiffin box and he was hooked , He just loved the taste of  the egg preparation and he insisted that his mother learn it and make it for him, and as no mother would be able to

Ignore her child’s plea, she did learn to make it for her son and makes it regularly only for him as all the other members are pure veg…..

 

She is a very dear friend of mine and hence this dish is very special for me ….

 

METHOD

1. Take a shallow dish and beat in two eggs till light and fluffy, add salt, chilli powder or finely chopped green chilies), haldi powder and  finely chopped coriander to the mixture.

2. There is one extra ingredient which I add and that’s cheese, my son loves cheese and loves to have it wherever possible and so in goes my cheese too.

3. Dip the slices of  bread cut into the required shape into the above mixture , do not leave the slices in the mixture or it will soak up the whole mixture and then break , so dip it for just long enough for it to soak up the egg mixture.

4. Take a hot griddle and add a little butter to it. Place the slices on the hot griddle and let them roast till nice and brown.

5. Serve hot with tomato ketchup

FRENCH TOAST....

My son and hubs wanted to have something eggy yesterday morning and they asked me to make a scrumptious French toast with a forewarning that I should make it just the way it should be made i.e. use all the ingredients in the right proportions.
You all will wonder why is it necessary to give such a warning, let me tell you why
I am a bit conscious about the ingredients that I use i.e. I am not very generous in my use of ingredients which tend to have lots of calories or empty calories , the ingredient in this recipe is the large amount of sugar required . I am not very comfortable making sweet dishes as I am not comfortable using large amount of sugar and also the amount of butter used for frying the fried toasts.

So I did make the French toast exactly the way it should be made- (according to me)
I added a little vanilla essence too.
I am sure each of you has a French toast recipe, and I would love to know how you make it.
I use the ingredients by the taste and add method i.e. 1 cup milk for 3 eggs sugar as per taste, butter for frying.

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR RECIPES AND THE VARIATIONS IF YOU KNOW OF ANY
I WILL POST THEM IN ADDITION TO MINE.

This is what some of my friends say…………..
I do the same thing too. I rarely add things like butter, ghee, sugars etc in the amounts they are supposed to be added & then I complain that the taste is just not the same!My French toast is pretty much the same as yours; sometimes I add finely sliced onion, green chilies and some cilantro……..tbc

I usually add salt and pepper instead of sugar. Sometimes I add cinnamon powder instead of slat and pepper. Should try u're way. It looks delicious …… LATHA

I too am very stingy with oil/butter in my dishes. Hence most turn out dry... but I still go the less oil way for French toast: I add turmeric powder along with vanilla essence. Basically it gives it a more golden color and reduces the smell of the egg in the toast... Rest remains the same... also add a little salt. This is how my mom makes it… ASHU


I make French toast but my recipe is 2 eggs 2 tbsp milk salt and pepper.4-6 slices bread butter for cooking. Combine together egg, milk salt and pepper and dip bread in. Heat pan and melt a little butter then cook bread till golden then turn and cook second side.
forgot to say, Usually serve with banana, lightly cooked in the pan, and maple syrup but I find that a bit sweet so just use a hint of syrup…..JEAN FROM NEWZEALAND

I make mine with finely chopped onions, salt n pepper n makes it on a non-stick...So cut out on a lot of oil...Your sweet one looks nice...Like the browning! SUGARCRAFT

SABUDANA THALIPETH....

One more week for the A to Z of Indian vegetables…
How fast the week passes and by the time it starts I feel there is a lot of time for me to think up of something for the letter of the week. And by the time I think and cook it and put it on the net it’s almost the weekend and then I have to do a rush rush job.
But whatever, I enjoy this event; it keeps my mind alive with ideas for the week. When the week began I thought of so many items which start with the letter S and which I had not blogged about, but finally I could manage to prepare only two and that too at the very end of the week and that’s today.


SABUDANA THALEPETH

INGREDIENTS

½ cup sabudana or sago washed and soaked for 3-4 hours.
3 potatoes boiled and mashed
½ cup peanuts roasted and powdered
Coriander leaves finely chopped
1 tsp cumin powder or whole cumin
1 tbsp rice flour.
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp haldi powder.
Sugar to taste
Lemon juice 1 tsp

METHOD

Mix all the ingredients and also add a little oil for keeping it together.
This mixture is quite sticky and takes some time to spread on the griddle or tava
Heat your tava till it’s real hot.
Rub oil all over
Take a ball made of the mixture and spread with your fingers, you can dip your fingers in oil or even water. You have to pat it to make it stick to the tava.
Let it turn brown pour a little ghee on the sides and turn.
Let it cook on the other side too.
Serve hot with sauce or green chutney.


You need a lot of patience for making these thalipeth as they stick to your fingers, then tend to stick to the griddle and they will break (if not carefully handled) when you remove them on to a plate.So i suggest slide them on to your plate and do not take them up like a normal thalipeth.
