Corn sandwich. Need vegetarian inspirations for nutrient packed lunch? This sandwich idea loaded with the delicious sweetness of golden yellow corn is a must try. It only requires staple ingredients that you may already have on hand like cheese and mayo. Sprinkled generously with chat masala, these spiced sandwiches take your lunch to the next level.
The sweet little golden yellow gems of the culinary world tastes incredibly delicious in many savory dishes - like this sweetcorn fritters and corn ribs. I really love the subtle sweetness of corn contrasting the savory and spicy elements of the other ingredients in the dishes. It’s totally a lip-smacking addition.
Sweetcorn sandwich. A delicious example of how simple corn can be converted into an incredible toasted sandwich in minutes. The filling is customizable and that makes this recipe so interesting. Add more finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum) and carrots for a healthy dose of veggies.
How To Make Corn Sandwich
First, make the element of this sandwich - the corn filling. It’s actually a very basic simple mixture of corn, grilled or boiled, carrots, onions and green chilies. I like to spice up the sandwich with a touch of chat masala and cheese makes this so good.
Next, let’s talk about the bread. Any bread taste amazing in this recipe, however, I prefer sourdough that’s a great base for all kinds of sandwiches.
Spread the bread with butter and spicy mayo or green chutney. Then top with the corn mixture. My favorite way to toast this sweetcorn sandwich is in a pan over the stovetop. However, you can also use a sandwich toaster to toast the sandwiches.
Deliciously good sweetcorn sandwich for a healthy light lunch!
