We usually add mashed potatoes to the bread and grill it, why not add few more veggies along with it so that it becomes more healthier. I added bit of capsicum, to the mashed potatoes to get the crunch along with the roasted peanut powder instead of cornflour which is usually used in Maharashtrian food. This gave an awesome combination for the sandwich. You can add any veggies of your choice. I had to roast the veggies and then add to the boiled mashed potato.
Ingredients:
Potato -3-4 boiled and mashed
Capsicum - 1/2 finely chopped
Onion - 1 small finely chopped
Green peas - handful of mashed
Oil - 1/2 table spoon for frying vegetables
Cumin seeds - 1 tea spoon
Red chilli powder - 1 tea spoon
Coriander powder - 1 tea spoon
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tea spoon
Salt - to taste
Roasted peanut powder - 2-3 tea spoon
Butter for toasting
Procedure:
1. Boil potatoes in a pressure cooker upto 4 whistles. If you do not have fresh frozen peas then you can boil the green peas along with potatoes. Peel the skin and mash the potatoes.
2. In a frying pan heat oil, when heated add cumin seeds, chopped onion, capsicum and mashed peas. Fry it for some time until veggies become little soft.
3. Add the roasted veggies to mashed potato and mix well.
5. Cut the bread slices into half, apply butter on a side and spread the mixed veg over the bread.
6. On a frying pan add butter and toast the bread slices on both the sides.
Notes:
- You can add any veggies you prefer like carrot.
- If preparing for kids you can skip adding red chilli powder.
