Ingredients

  • 1 small cucumber
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 medium tomato
  • ¾ cup pumpkin grated
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 16 piece bread You may use any bread
  • 100 gm cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Take a fresh raw pumpkin. Wash it under tap. Grate it in a large bowl. The other veggies like onion, cucumber and tomato can be finely chopped.
  2. You may add any other vegetable of your choice. Since we are not cooking the vegetables, use the ones which are recommended to be eaten raw. Cauliflower may be avoided as raw.
  3. Add salt, black pepper, Mayonnaise, Tomato ketchup, and Italian seasonings.
  4. Mix well.
  5. Spread it on bread slice evenly.
  6. Grate chess over the layer of veggies.
  7. Place the other bread slice over this.
  8. Place the pair on the hot tawa. You may apply butter. I have used Iron Tawa and they came out superb! You may use a raw onion to season the tawa.
  9. Cover with a lid.
  10. Flip to cook from the other side. Let the flame be simmer to have crispy sandwiches. Once you reverse, you may not cover it with lid as its almost done. It takes around 2-3 min for both sides.
  11. Crispy Pumpkin Sandwich is ready! Serve hot with tea or coffee.

Notes

  • One need not use any nonstick tawa/pan to have a crispy sandwich. I have been using iron tawa for more than 2 decades and trust me I can make a crispy non-burnt sandwich with less butter or ghee with the following tips:
  •  
  • The tawa should be hot. The flame should be simmer.
  • Use thick chunk of raw onion to season the tawa.
  • Use the stuffing of vegetables immediately or else they may leave water and the sandwich would be soggy.
  • Cover the sandwich fully with a steel plate or any other lid and let it be on low flame throughout. Flip and repeat.
