Instructions
-
Prepare the Rajma (Kidney Beans)
- Begin by soaking 1/2 cup of rajma overnight. Drain and rinse, then cook the rajma in a pot of water until tender, approximately 25-30 minutes. Drain excess water and set aside.
-
Make the Filling
- Heat a teaspoon of sunflower oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and garlic, and sautรฉ until they turn golden and aromatic.
- Add the cooked rajma, sweet corn, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and mixed herbs to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Sautรฉ for a few more minutes, ensuring the mixture is well-cooked and slightly dry. Adjust salt and spices to your preference.
- Finally, add the grated cheese, stir it into the mixture, and turn off the heat. Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling the sandwiches.
-
Assemble the Sandwich
- Lay out the slices of brown bread on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the rajma-corn mixture onto one slice of bread, spreading it evenly.
- Place another slice of bread on top, pressing down gently.
-
Grill the Sandwich
- Spread a small amount of softened butter on the top slice of each sandwich. Place it in a sandwich maker or on a preheated grill pan, butter-side down.
- Spread butter on the other side of the sandwich and grill until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve
- Slice each sandwich in half and serve hot. Pair with a fresh Summer Lettuce Salad or a refreshing Coconut Kewra Drink for a wholesome meal.
