Hi Everybody,
Hopefully you all enjoyed my earlier recipes...
Here is my new recipe for HOT SANDWICHES:
If you guys want to enjoy Hot or warm sandwiches on chilly evenings..
Ingredients:
Bread-1 loaf,
tons of veggies like
julienned (thinly shredded or sliced )carrots-1 cup,
cabbage(any color, but green tastes good)-shredded -1 cup,
spring onions- 1 cup shredded,
shallots or onions-shredded -1 cup,
capsicum-thinly shredded -1 cup,
garlic- minced-1 tbsp,
cauliflower-grated-1 cup,
mushrooms -chopped finely-1 cup
In a pan, take 2 spoons oil, then add shallots, garlic, then once it is roasted and crispy, then add cabbage, spring onions ,mushrooms, fry till they turn crisp, then add capsicum last since it leaves lil water and makes the veggies soggy,, then add salt only after the veggies are cooked properly, since salt will leave moisture and the veggies will not turn crisp if you add it first,, then add pepper powder,, for adults who like it spicy you can add jalepenos or for a twist try the garam masala pwdr one pinch and chilli pdr.. keep the cooked veggies aside,,
take a cast iron pan if you have or normal flat base pan (used for dosa), put the bread slice-2 of them parallely, then add some butter on it(optional ), put the veggie mixture on the bread and add lots of cheese on top and cover with the other bread,,, toast it till the cheese melts and serve hot with tomato ketchup or green chutney,,,
yummy sandwiches for kids too , who dont love veggies will surely relish these,,, without even knowing,,,
Enjoy.... comment on it , so i can improve further if required,, i love to see comments

Spinach Rice

Spinach - half a bag of spinaach, ginger-1"piece, green chillies -3 or more according to your taste, rice- 1 glass , soaked in water for 20 mins before cooking,raw garam masala like tej patta, elaichi-1,cinnamon stick-1 ",onion-1 big sliced lengthwise, garlic-2 pods finely chopped , cabbage - cut into thin strips( one small bowl full)( this is optional), pinenuts- 1 handfull( this is also optional) only add if you like the crunch of the nuts in the rice)
method:
Take the spinach in a vessel , cook it with lil water, green chillies and salt,, then once it is cooked(approximately till the spinach is wilted)for 8 mins,, then put this spinach mix in the blender and make into a paste,, cook the rice till done and seperate(like for fried rice), then cool it when it is cooked in a big vessel,,, In a Tava you can add lil butter, then add all the garam masala's , then you can add the onions, garlic, till they are transparent, then add the cabbage and add salt, and then keep it aside, now add the spinach paste to the cooked cabbage tava and mix well, then slowly incorporate the rice without smashing it, adjust the seasoning (check for salt ), then add the roasted pinenuts(which has to be roasted separately with lil oil)in the last for a crunch..

apple juice or mango juice- 1 cup
Take a pan,measure one cup of the apple juice in it, then add one cup packed brownsugar, then add butter, whisk it well and heat all this till the browsugar and the butter melts,,, once it is warm, take a baking dish, then add the sliced peaches and this liquid into the dish and baked at preheated oven at 425 degrees for 25 mins,,, till peaches are fork tender,, serve it warm with vanilla icecream , and a cherry on top,, and if you have hazelnuts, toast them, then crush it with rolling pin and add on top of the icecream,,, fantastic dessert is ready..
