Desi's Mashy Mayo Wich (serves 3)
Ingredients:
- Vegetables: 3 Potatoes, 2 Tomatoes (1 tomato diced, 1 sliced), 1 Onion (diced), 2 green chillies (finely chopped)
- Brown / White bread: 9 Slices
- 1 Tea spoon oil (use Saffola, good for heart, and would help increase my friend's sales)
- Butter / Amul Lite (based on what mood you are in, nothing tastes like Butter, but I think Lite is Ok)
- Masala: Jeera whole (1 tea spoon), Red Chilli powder, Chat Masala, Salt, Pepper
- Mayonnaise (take the veggie one, its tastier, there is healthy option available too, fat-free one in stores, made of mostly milk solids)
Boil the potatoes (wash them, put them in a cooker, now handling a cooker totally depends on you, my cooker is awesome, and I am comfortable with its setting, Apeksha's cooker behaves differently, totally your call. For me I sink them around 3-4th in water, put 6-7 whistles as I want to mash them, Jeera-Aloo would require 4-5 whistles). Then mash them.
Heat a bit of oil in pan, now crack Jeera in it. Now Jeera cracks earlier than Rai (mustard does) so don't heat it too much or you risk burning the Jeera. Best way is to heat it, then sim the gas a bit, then add couple of Jeera seeds, if it cracks put the rest.
The sugandh / khushboo / fragrance which follows is better than your Chanel's and Boss's. Its mahaan (most prominent places where you find the smell, Jeera rice, Dal Fry made with Jeera ghee and aloo jeera).
Put in the mash potatoes, mix chat masala and red chillies powder. Slightly heat it and mix it well. Take it off the flame, add diced tomatoes and onions. Cool it a bit (the sandwich mix is ready). Put salt and pepper to taste (remember you have added Chat Masala which has tonnes of Salt, so be careful while adding salt)
Heating the bread is not a simple act, there are multiple variations to how you can do it. The most boring is the videshi method of putting it in a toaster or microwave. Boring!!!
Best is the desi tarika, put them in a pan / tawa, put Lite / Butter, let it slightly melt add Jeera powder in Butter (you can add Red Chillies Powder too), put the Bread on Top, nicely butter it with Amul Lite (remember not that many calories, you can add your bit:)) and heat it. Let it be nicely brown (slightly soft or crunchy, whichever way you like it).
For the wich to be ready now, keep a slice of heated bread on a plate, put the potato as one of the layers. Close it with a slice, put mayo on it. If you are cal-conscious use a knife to spread it, otherwise use a spoon :). Remember even this has salt (so keep this in mind while using salt earlier). Now put the tomato slices on this layer and close it.
Its a fact that Sandwiches cut diagonally taste better than stand alone or beech se cut sandwiches.
Btw it's ready, eat it :). You can add cucumber to it, might go well. Goes well with Thakela Sunrise.
Thakela Sunrise (Serves 3)
Ingredients:
- 350 ml Minute Maid Pulpy Orange
- Ice Cubes 12
- 5 Tea Spoons Glucon D (preferably Orange flavor)
- Bacardi White Rum (90 ml) (depends if you want a mocktail or a cocktail)
Remember cocktails are all about measures, you won't get the right feel if the measures are not right.
Method:
Mix it, if you have a cocktail mixer, shake it. And its ready.
Let me know if you try something out, in case you don't be happy to know that your friend keeps on trying things out :)
