Sub inspired Vegetable Sandwich

Vishnu n I love subs very much..First thing is, its a very healthy diet when it comes to fast food. Normally, what i do to make sandwich is jus put the cheese n veggies on bread n  throw it in microwave for 50 secs.. Though it is very tasty but bread used to be little saggy. Later i tried making sandwich in sub style..It so easy n very tasty...All you have to do is jus toast the bread in toaster, microwave cheese n veggies n jus make a sandwich...I love honey wheat bread. You can substitute your fav bread.

Lets come to the preparation part of the healthy sub inspired vegetable sandwich:

Ingredients:
Honey Wheat Bread: 2 slices
Mayonnaise: 1 tsp
Red Vinegar:1/2 tsp or kind of dressing u prefer.
Tomato slices: 2
Green Pepper strips: 5-6 small
Onion rings: 3
Spinach leaves: 6-8
Cheddar Cheese: 1 slice or as your choice
Lettuce: 1 fist
Basil or Oregano: jus to sprinkle

**** You can  choose your own choice of vegetables

Preparation:
1) Toast the bread slices in toaster until the sides get crispy or for about 30 -45secs. Keep them aside.
2) Take small piece of foil or deli wrap paper.
3) On foil arrange onion rings first and then green peppers strips followed by tomato slices.
4) Collect spinach leaves in an order n place them on top of tomato slices.
5) Put cheese slice on top of spinach.

6) Carefully place he foil in microwave. Microwave it for 25 secs or until cheese started to melt.
7) Spread mayo onto bread slices with knife. Then spread your choice of dressing on mayo.

8) Carefully, flip the melted cheese n vegetable on top of bread. Cheese has to go down n onions has to come upside
9) Garnish with extra spinach n lettuce.

10) Sprinkle basil n cover with another bread slice.

Enjoy this delicious n healthy vegetable sandwich..

Cucumber Chutney/ Keera Doasakaya Pachadi--

Another healthy n tasty chutney from my kitchen. Vegetable raw chutney is one of those regular dishes in my kitchen. I make chutneys  at least twice a week accompanying with fry n rasam or pappu charu. Yesterday, i was on my way to walmart. I jus came out from my community and my hus is coming from work. He dint saw me, as he was in hurry to go home. I followed him to the apt n asked him to come with me to walmart. Unwillingly he came with me after a small threatening. When we are at  vegetable section, he asked me to take cucumbers n i was like ????.  He asked me to make cucumber chutney, as it is one of his favorites.( Its been nearly 2months, i bought cucumber).

Okay Okay, i will stop here n will rush to main content. Cucumber with its unique flavor n as a  cousin to our native yellow cucumber, gives us a divine pleasure... Mixed with chili's, tamarind, garlic, the cucumber chutney is a good healthy n tasty dish.
