Amishi 's Kitchen : SPINACH AND CORN SANDWICH

I first had Spinach and Corn sandwich during college, Café coffee day or CCD as they were popularly known those days, was a popular place amongst college goers to hang out. This Spinach andCorn sandwich was a regular for me whenever I used to visit CCD.
So when I started cooking I always wanted to try my favourite spinach and corn sandwich and once I tried it, I found out that this is one of the easiest sandwich to be made with not much of preparation required.
Thankfully everyone in my family loves this sandwich including my daughters and I'm so glad that I've found another way to feed them spinach apart from palak paneer (from which they carefully try to pick out only the paneer pieces). Thankfully they can't do the same with this spinach and corn sandwich and I do the happy dance :-)
I use aata (whole wheat flour) instead of maida (all purpose flour) as I'm trying to reduce intake of maida at my place but you can also use maida as it uses only 2 table spoons of maida.

INGREDIENTS

For the filling

1 cup Spinach/palak rinsed and chopped

1/2 cup Sweet Corn kernels

2 table spoons whole wheat flour(aata)/all purpose flour(maida)

2 table spoons butter

1/2 cup milk

salt to taste

1/2 tea spoon each of black pepper, red chilli flakes and oregano

2-3 table spoons processed cheese grated (optional)

For the spinach and corn sandwich

6 Bread slices

butter as needed

METHOD

for the filling

1. Boil the corn and keep aside.

2. Take a pan add butter to it, once it starts melting add aata or maida to it and saute till it's lightly cooked and the raw aroma goes. Do not let it brown too much.

3. Add the chopped spinach and saute for a minute. Let the water from spinach dry a little.

4. Add milk to the pan and cook for a few minutes.

5. Add the boiled corn to the spinach sauce and lastly add the seasonings.

6. Cook the mixture for a few more minutes till you get the desired consistency. If using cheese add it just before switching off the gas and then let the spinach and corn mixture cool.

Assembling the sandwich

1. Take a bread slice, apply the mixture on it. Place another slice of bread on it.

2. Heat an iron griddle or tawa, apply some butter on one side and place the side with butter on the tawa and let it cook till it browns a little.

3. Apply butter on the side which is on top and flip it to cook from the other side too. You can also use a sandwich maker to make this sandwich.
