Sandwich Tikki Squares

This is another quick breakfast recipe especially if you have kids. Kids generally spend a lot of time eating so they will definetly enjoy these little squares. I used  this amazing coriandar mint chutney or you can call it a spread. Here is the recipe..

Ingredients 

Coriander and Mint chutney or spread
2 bunches of coriander leaves
half cup chopped onion
two green chillies
1 tbs salt or salt to taste
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
Half cup of curd or Butter milk
 
Method

Mix all the ingredients listed above in a grinder and grind them properly. It will be almost like a paste. Keep it aside.
 
Potato Stuffing

Ingredients

1 cup Boiled potatoes
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp dhaniya powder
1/2 tsp thinly cut green chillies
 
Method

Mash the boiled potatoes and add all the spices and green chillies. Mix them properly. You can add a spoon of corn flour in the potato mix. This will help in binding the mix. Take a spoonful of this mix and make small cakes or tikkis and fry them in a pan with vegetable oil till they are properly roasted. This is the method of making a tikki though!

Take two pieces of bread and  spread the coriander and mint paste on the bread. Place a slice of lettuce, a slice of Tomato,Onion and the Fried Potato cake or tikki. Add little bit of unsalted butter and keep one more bread slice on  the top and Toast in toast maker for a half minute. If you do not have a toast maker at home, you can toast the sandwich in pan.  After its roasted, apple some butter on to the top and serve it hot. For children, you can cut the sandwich in squares..otherwise you can eat it as it is with hot cuppa of tea! Enjoy!
