Tomato Sandwich

Sandwiches can be either a heavy meal or you can make it as a light snack. Raw vegetables are most commonly used in sandwiches. However, the recipe that I am sharing today is a sandwich with a tomato filling in between.

I remember making these sandwiches in bulk and sharing it with my colleagues and also packing them for my husband’s colleagues and friends. The best part about these delicious sandwiches is that it tastes equally good even after it is cold.

I hope you enjoy making this one.

For the Tomato Masala:

Tomatoes – 5 to 6 chopped roughly

Onion – 1 large – finely chopped

METHOD:

In a wide bottomed pan, heat 2 tbsp of oil. Add Jeera/cumin seeds. Once they splutter add the onions, garlic and green chillies. Saute till onions are translucent.

Then add the chopped tomatoes, cook till the tomatoes are mushy.

Now add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, tomato ketchup and salt.
