Healthy Eating: Masala Egg Sandwich

If you woke up this morning thinking about eating eggs, then you’ve come to the right place.Like with all my other recipes, I’m going to be putting a twist on traditional eggs by making a full meal out of them using veggies and healthy carbs. While sandwiches are considered to be a “shortcut breakfast”, this Masala Egg Sandwich is best eaten as a meal! 

What You Will Need

• Boiled eggs – 2 whole
• Wheat bread/ multigrain bread – 4 slices
• Onion – 1 big finely chopped
• Tomato – 1 big finely chopped
• Coriander finely chopped – ¼ cup
• Garlic ginger paste – 1 tbsp
• Cheese – 1 cube
• Few onion slices
• Few capsicum slices
• Green chutney – 2 tbsp
• Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
• Turmeric – ½ tsp
• Garam masala – ½ tsp
• Jeera powder – ½ tsp
• Oil – 1 tbsp

How To Prepare

1. Heat a pan, add oil and allow the ginger garlic paste to saute.
2. Once done, add in the onion and cook for a while until translucent.
3. Throw in the tomatoes, coriander and cook for 5 more minutes.
4. Add the spices, chilli powder, turmeric, salt and garam masala. Give it a quick mix.
5. Mix some water and allow this to cook for a few minutes.
6. Chop the boiled eggs into small pieces and add them to the pan. Allow it to cook for 3-5 minutes.
7. Turn the flame off and your egg masala is ready! 
8. Take 2 bread slices, layer both with green chutney. Add the egg masala, top it up with sliced onions, capsicum and shredded cheese (1/2 cube). Sprinkle some chat masala and cover with another slice of bread. Repeat the process to make another sandwich.
9. Heat a flat pan, brush some oil and place the sandwich on it for a grill. After it is golden brown on one side, flip it over and cook the other side.
10. Cut the sandwich into 4 pieces and serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

Note: you can use chopped paneer or tofu cubes instead of eggs.

Highlights of the Masala Egg Sandwich:
