Ingredients from my pantry
(for 3 sandwich)
Onion - 1/2 (Small, finely chopped)
Frozen Peas - 8 tbsp
Frozen Corn - 8 tbsp
Salt to taste
Amchur Powder - 1/4 tsp
Chat Powder - 1/4 tsp
Pepper Powder - 1/4 tsp (mild spice) - 1/2 (medium spicy)
Cilantro leaves - 1 tbsp chopped
Wheat bread - 5 slice
Water
Oil - 1 tsp
Cooking Instructions
In a sauce pan, add corn, peas, salt and water (around 3/4 - 1 cup) and cook on a low flame for 5 minutes or until the veggies are cooked. I have used frozen corn/peas and it normally doesn't take much time to cook. Drain water.(If you are using dried green peas, then you must soak overnight, pressure cook for couple of whistles . I would recommend fresh ones over dried peas.)
Meanwhile, add 1 tsp of oil in a small pan. When it is hot add finely chopped onions and saute until it is golden brown. This will take 3-4 minutes on a medium flame.
Add corn, peas and saute for 2-3 minutes. It is ok if the veggies are little moist. It will help the spices to blend well. Now add pepper powder, amchur powder, chat powder and mix it well. Add little more salt if necessary Keep stirring so that it doesn't stick to the pan.
Turn off the gas and let it cool for a while. Turn the spatula upside down and mash the peas and corn. You can also use potato masher if you have one. This will help the masala to stick to the bread.
Add finely chopped cilantro leaves and mix it.
Place them carefully on a sandwich maker and cook until the light goes off (Please refer to the cooking instructions of your sandwich maker). Medium toasted sandwich will take 3-4 minutes approximately.
(Using Sandwich maker)
(Conventional Tawa toasting)
What value addition can I make to this recipe?
Spread some ghee or butter on the bread as soon as you remove from the tawa/sandwich maker. I personally love to toast my bread with ghee.
Add finely chopped green chili for extra spice while sauteing onions.
Use white bread instead of a wheat bread it definitely adds to the taste.
How do I make it interesting for Kids?
Trim off the bread crusts (the sides of the bread) before putting them on a tawa or sandwich maker. Kids might love to eat without the crusts.
Add some grated cheese or cheese slice while preparing the stuffing.
Some serving suggestions?
Serve it with tomato ketchup or mint chutney. I am sure it will make it a lip smacking palette.

amchur powder ?
Thanks MyKitchen & Myspicy Kitchen...
@TCS, Amchur powder is one of the nicest Indian Spice. It is called as Dry Mango Powder in english. It gives a nice tangy flavor to the dish.
I have heard that some people replace tamarind with this spice when they prepare Sambhar especially in restaurants outside tamilnadu.. :))
