Ingredients for Veg Cheese Sandwich

For the Batter:

• Gram Flour (Besan): 1 cup (120 g)
• Refined Flour (Maida): 6 tbsp (50 g)
• Salt: Slightly less than ½ tsp
• Red Chili Powder: ¼ tsp
• Fresh Coriander Leaves: 1-2 tbsp, finely chopped

For the Sandwich:

• Bread Slices: 4
• Pizza Sauce: 1 tbsp
• Green Chutney or Tomato Sauce: 1 tbsp
• Capsicum: 2 tbsp, finely chopped
• Cheese Slices: As required
• Butter: For toasting

Step 1: Preparing the Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour and refined flour.
2. Gradually add water and whisk until you get a smooth, pouring-consistency batter.
3. Add salt, red chili powder, and chopped coriander leaves to the batter. Mix well.
4. The batter is ready to coat the bread slices.

Step 2: Making the Sandwich

1. Heat a tawa over low flame. Add a small amount of butter and spread it evenly.
2. Dip a bread slice into the prepared batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Place it on the tawa. Repeat the process with the second slice and place it beside the first.
3. Cover the tawa and cook on low-medium heat for about 3 minutes until the bread is partially toasted.
4. After 3 minutes, spread pizza sauce on one slice and green chutney or tomato sauce on the other.
5. Add a layer of finely chopped capsicum over the pizza sauce.
6. Place a cheese slice on top of the capsicum, then cover it with the other bread slice (sauce side down).
7. Gently press the sandwich and add some butter on top. Flip it carefully. Toast both sides until they are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.

Step 3: Serving

1. Remove the sandwich from the tawa and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Cut it into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
3. Serve warm with your favorite dips like ketchup, mayonnaise, or more green chutney.

Suggestions

1. Adjust Butter Usage: Use butter according to your taste. You can go light or generous based on your preference.
2. Add Veggies: Customize the sandwich by adding vegetables like tomatoes, onions, or grated carrots for extra nutrition.
3. Storage: If making in advance, these sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container and reheated before serving.
