Healthy Life: Eating healthy food doesn’t mean giving up your favourite foods. Your favourite recipes can be adapted easily to provide a healthier alternative. For example, non-stick cookware can be used to reduce the need for cooking oil. Vegetables can also be microwaved or steamed instead of boiling to keep valuable nutrition.

There are many ways to make meals healthier. Limit fats, sugars and salt and include plenty of vegetables, fruit, grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy in your cooking. Foods with added fats, sugars or salt are less healthy than food in which these are found naturally. SANDWICH RECIPES:

Potato sandwich:

Potato sandwich makes for a quick, easy and delicious breakfast & snack. In this post I share 2 ways to make grilled potato sandwiches. Also known as aloo sandwiches, these are very popular in the Indian cafes and canteens. They are made in so many ways but are always spiced & taste super delicious. These are kids’ friendly and are great for parties too.

To make these, all you need is some boiled potatoes, spices, herbs and bread of your choice. Within a jiffy these are ready for a treat. Serve them with schezwan sauce, ketchup, green chutney or any favorite dip of your choice. You can also serve them with a cup of masala chai or coffee. How to make aloo sandwich: Wash and peel 300 grams potatoes (1 large or 2 medium). I prefer to quarter them and steam over a pot just until done. You can also boil the whole potatoes in a pressure cooker for 3 whistles or for 5 to 9 mins in the instant pot depending on the size of your potatoes. 2. To a mixing bowl, add ½ teaspoon grated ginger 1 green chili chopped (optional) 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves ½ teaspoon red chili powder ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste) 1/8 teaspoon turmeric ¼ to ½ teaspoon garam masala (adjust to taste) ½ teaspoon coriander powder. Pour 1 to 2 tsp ghee or oil over the spices. I prefer to use hot ghee as it helps to bring out the aroma of the other ingredients used. However it is optional. 3. Mix up everything. You can also add lemon juice or amchur now.

4. Add mashed potato. Mix up everything well. Taste test and add more spices, salt or lemon juice to taste.

5. Smear softened butter or ghee on one side of the bread. I prefer ghee. Turn the bread slices to the other side. If you want you can also smear some green chutney or schezwan sauce and then spread the aloo masala. Cover with another slice and smear butter or ghee on the outer side. You can also smear chutney or sauce on both the slices. 6. Heat the sandwich griller and grill the sandwiches for 3 to 5 mins until crisp. Alternately you can also toast them on a hot griddle on both the sides until crisp & golden.Cut aloo sandwiches to squares or triangles and serve with green chutney or schezwan sauce.
