Preparation Steps
-
Prepare the Filling:
Begin by heating a teaspoon of oil in a wok or kadai over medium heat. Add the julienned onions, grated ginger, and garlic. Sauté these ingredients until they soften, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. -
-
Incorporate Vegetables:
Once the onions are translucent, add the julienned green bell peppers and stir-fry them until tender. Then, add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the tomatoes break down and meld with the other ingredients. -
Combine Ingredients:
To the softened mixture, add the boiled and mashed potatoes, crumbled paneer, and pav bhaji masala. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Season with salt to taste and adjust the spices according to your preference. -
Cook the Mixture:
Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. This will help the flavors to develop. After cooking, turn off the heat and stir in the freshly chopped coriander leaves. -
Toast the Bread:
While the filling cools slightly, slice the French or rye bread rolls in half lengthwise. Spread a generous layer of butter on each half and toast them on a skillet until they are lightly browned and crispy, creating a delightful texture. -
Assemble the Sandwich:
Once the bread is toasted, spread the aromatic masala mixture on one half of each roll. Layer fresh rocket leaves on top of the filling for a peppery crunch, and then place the other half of the bread on top. Gently press down to secure the sandwich. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Cut the sandwiches in half for easier handling and serve them hot. For an added treat, pair your Masala Sandwich with a refreshing Strawberry Yogurt Lassi or a creamy Coffee Banana Oats Smoothie.
This Masala Sandwich with Rocket Leaves not only makes for a delicious breakfast but also provides a satisfying and nutritious meal, perfect for any time of the day. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
