Corn Sandwich

We had gone for a picnic along with my cousin Ritaechi & Radhuettan to Bowral Tulips Festival in Oct '12. I baked and packed Egg Puffs, Melting Moments cookies and brownies to munch on. Ritaechi called and told me she would be bringing sandwich.

Have to say, Ritaechi is truly a Masterchef. All of her recipes are very delicious and I've learnt few recipes from chechi which I would be posting later. Whenever we visit her home, she would prepare new dishes and  serve a minimum of 5-6 dishes. The dining table will be full of fantastic and variety dishes for her guests.

Ritaechi's corn sandwich was so yummy and we finished it all off. I got this recipe as well from her :) and have made 2-3 times. We all loved it.

Here goes the recipe and it is indeed an easy and very filling one with the crunchiness of corn kernels and very few ingredients. As Sathya is having pot luck today at office, I used 2 corn cobs. With 2 cobs, I could make 8 sandwiches. You can try this out this just 1 corn cob or a canned corn kernels and adjust the ingredients accordingly. Just spread butter on the bread slice and the filling, a simple sandwich is ready.

Ingredients:

Corn cobs - 2 nos
Onions - 2 nos (chopped)
Tomato - 1 no (chopped)
Green chilly - 1 no (finely chopped)
Salt
Pepper Powder
Oil - 2 tbsp (I use Extra virgin olive oil)
Coriander leaves - To garnish

Instructions:

• Cut the corn from the cob. I prefer to use fresh corn kernels rather than the canned ones. You may use canned corn kernels to ease your work.
• If using fresh corn kernels, microwave the kernels for 3 minutes with salt.  Mash the corn kernels after it's cooked. Not sure about the canned ones.If the canned ones seem raw, clean the canned kernels in water and microwave.
• Pour oil in a hot pan and add chopped onions and green chilly.
• When onions turn translucent, add the chopped tomatoes and let it turn mushy.
• Now add the corn kernels. Adjust salt and pepper powder to your taste.
• Fry the mixture for 5 minutes.
• Turn off the flame and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
• Once the mixture is cooled, you may fill it up.
• Spread butter on the bread slice and place 2 tsps of the mixture for filling.
• Serve it up :)
