Quick Eats- Potato Masala Sandwich


I loved these sandwiches as a kid! I remember my mom making me these delicious sandwiches on nights when it would be just me, my brother and her....if my dad was traveling overseas or elsewhere on business, I would beg her to make something else for dinner than the usual Indian fare....and she would-because that's what moms do.

These are SO easy, you can also have your kids help you make them.....here's what you need to make these.



Ingredients:

For the Masala Potatoes:

4 boiled potatoes,Ginger-Chili Paste,salt to taste,1 tsp garam masala, 1tsp Aamchoor powder,

1 tbsp finely chopped green coriander leaves/cilantro, 1 onion- chopped finely
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds

mash the potatoes. In a pan, heat the oil, add the cumin and let it sizzle. Add the ginger-chili paste, and the onions along with the coriander leaves. Cook for a couple of minutes, and add the potatoes. Add the rest of the seasonings and stir well. Let it cool and set aside.

Green Chutney:

1 cup Coriander/Cilantro leaves
1-2 green chilies
1 inch piece ginger
1 tsp- cumin seeds
Salt, sugar, lemon juice to taste

Blend all the ingredients and form a paste.

To assemble:

You will need bread slices, butter/margarine to taste

On a piece of bread, spread some chutney on one side, add the cooled potato masala, and place another piece of bread on top. Spread some butter/margarine on both sides and grill till well done! Serve hot with more chutney and ketchup and a hot cuppa tea!

Simple, isn't it??? Now go and make some! :)

Good to Know- MISO

miso = soybean paste = bean paste Pronunciation: MEE-soh Notes: This is a thick paste made from soybeans and grains that has been fermented and then aged for up to three years. It's a staple in Japan, where it's used to flavor soups, dipping sauces, meats, and dressings. There are hundreds of varieties of miso, and the Japanese match them to dishes with the same care that Americans match wines to meals. The darker kinds are saltier and more pungent, the lighter are sweeter and milder. Always add miso to soups and stews at the end, since boiling it destroys beneficial bacteria and causes it to curdle. Look for tubs of miso in the refrigerated section of Japanese food markets, health foods stores, or large supermarkets. It will keep in your refrigerator for many months. Powdered miso is also available, as are powdered soup mixes made with miso and dashi. Substitutes: soy sauce (one tablespoon miso = one teaspoon soy sauce) OR umeboshi paste
