Instructions
-
Sauté the Vegetables: Begin by heating a splash of extra virgin olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onions. Sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes until they soften and become translucent, releasing their sweet aroma.
-
Add Tomatoes and Spices: To the softened onions, add the chopped tomatoes and green chili. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and become mushy. Season the mixture with salt, chaat masala powder, red chili powder, and the juice of half a lemon. Stir everything well to combine and let the flavors meld together for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Cool the Masala: Once the mixture is well-cooked, switch off the flame and allow the masala to cool for about 15 minutes. This cooling period enhances the flavors and makes it easier to handle.
-
Prepare the Sandwich: After cooling, preheat your sandwich maker. Take two slices of whole wheat brown bread and generously stuff the prepared onion-tomato masala between them. Ensure that the filling is evenly spread for a balanced taste in every bite.
-
Toast the Sandwich: Spread unsalted butter on both the top and bottom of the sandwich for that rich, indulgent flavor. Place the sandwich in the preheated sandwich maker and toast until it turns golden brown and crispy, which typically takes about 3-5 minutes.
-
Repeat for Remaining Sandwiches: Follow the same process for the remaining slices of bread and masala until all sandwiches are prepared.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your Spicy Onion Tomato Masala Sandwich is ready to be served! Pair it with a refreshing Dhaniya Pudina Chutney for dipping and enjoy it alongside a glass of Plum Ginger Juice for a delightful breakfast or tea-time snack.
