Cheese & Curried Babycorn Sandwich| Babycorn Masala Sandwich With Cheese

Love sandwiches? We do, at our place!

Sandwiches make for the perfect lunch or snack on a busy work day. They are great for dinner too, if you don’t want to whip up an elaborate meal. And there are so many varieties of sandwiches possible – you just can’t get bored of them!

Here’s presenting a Cheese & Curried Babycorn Sandwich or Babycorn Masala Sandwich With Cheese, something I tried out recently and all of us loved. I have used tender babycorn to make the filling here, curried Indian-style. Paired with some cheese and tomato ketchup, the babycorn filling tastes just amazing!

Let’s now see how to make a Cheese & Curried Babycorn Sandwich.

Ingredients (makes 6 sandwiches):

For the filling:

1. 6 big pieces of babycorn
2. 1 medium-sized onion
3. 1 medium-sized capsicum
4. 1 tablespoon oil
5. Salt to taste
6. 1 tablespoon garam masala or to taste
7. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
8. 2 pinches of asafoetida
9. 1 tablespoon sugar
10. A dash of lemon juice
11. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander leaves

Other ingredients:

1. 12 slices of whole wheat bread
2. Grated cheese, as needed
3. Tomato ketchup, as needed

Method:

We will first get the vegetables ready to make the stuffing.

1. Remove the husks and fibres from the babycorn.
2. Chop the babycorn finely.
3. Peel and chop the onion finely.
4. Remove the cores and stem from the capsicum. Chop it finely.
5. Keep the chopped veggies ready.

Now, we will prepare the filling for the sandwiches.

1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the chopped babycorn, onion and capsicum to the pan. Saute on medium flame for a minute.
3. Keeping the flame low, add the salt to taste, turmeric powder, sugar, red chilli powder and garam masala. Mix well.
4. Continue cooking uncovered, on medium flame, till the vegetables are cooked but still retain a bit of a crunch. This should take 1-2 minutes.
5. Switch off gas, and add the finely chopped coriander and lemon juice. Mix well. The stuffing is ready – keep aside.

Now, we will prepare the Babycorn Masala Sandwiches With Cheese.

1. Spread out a generous amount of the prepared babycorn stuffing evenly on one slice of bread. Over it, add some grated cheese and drizzle some tomato ketchup.
2. Close the sandwich with another slice of bread.
3. Prepare all the sandwiches using all the bread, in a similar manner. Grill them in a sandwich maker till brown on the outside and a bit crisp, taking care not to burn them. Serve immediately.

Notes:

1. You can use chana masala instead of garam masala in the filling. Adjust the quantity you use, as per personal taste preferences.
2. I have used garam masala by Ciba Taaza Spices in the filling.
3. I have used Amul processed cheese to make these Cheese & Curried Babycorn Sandwiches. You may use any other type or brand of cheese you prefer, instead.
4. I have used Heinz tomato ketchup to make these sandwiches.
5. I have used whole wheat bread in these Cheese & Curried Babycorn Sandwiches, but you can use any other type of bread instead too.
6. Do not overcook the filling. The babycorn should still retain a bit of a crunch.
7. I used an electric sandwich maker by Morphy Richards to make these Babycorn Masala Sandwiches with cheese. You could even toast them on a dosa pan.
8. I have used tender babycorn from Mapletree Farms, Hosur, to make these sandwiches. They came with the husk, which I had to remove, along with the fibres. If you are buying peeled, cleaned and packaged babycorn, you can use it straight away.
