Sooji Veggie Sandwich

Sooji or rawa infused Vegetable Sandwich - A healthy and tasty start to your day!!

One fine evening, a dear friend calls me up.
As we begin to exchange our recent 'stories', she mentions a certain 'fast-food sandwich' which she had the opportunity to relish on in the recent past. Her verdict was - scrumptious, filling as well as healthy. The filling was supposedly made up of sooji/rawa, capsicum and onion.
And on this day, all I can say is thanks dear P for The Sandwich inspiration :D !! Have tried my way with the ingredients, altered some and finally have come up with the below recipe.... and, it's been a great hit in my family :D.

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 Cup sooji
• 1 and 1/2 cup - mixed vegetables (finely chopped onions, tomatoes, capsicums, green chilly)
• Mint leaves - chopped finely
• Coriander leaves - chopped finely
• Freshly ground pepper
• Sandwich Bread
• Salt to taste

METHOD

• In a mixing bowl, add all the finely chopped vegetables along with the mint and coriander leaves.
• Add sooji.
• Add salt and pepper.
• Mix well. If necessary, add a little water to make a sticky paste.
• Apply this paste evenly on one side of a bread slice.
• Put some oil /butter on a tava and toast the bread .
• Make sure to first toast the side on which the paste is applied.
• Once this side starts gets slightly golden brown in colour, flip it and toast the other side as well.
• Can be eaten as a single piece or press two cooked slices together.
• This is an optional addition - sprinkle grated cheese (any cheese) .
• Serve hot. Tastes great by itself else can be accompanied with tomato sauce or mint chutney. 

Tip:
Do not add water in the very beginning. Usually there is sufficient moisture in the tomatoes to enable all the veggies and sooji to stick together as a paste. If not, sprinkle very little water.
