Corn Cheese Sandwich with Pudina Chutney


Again its cheese...whenever I come across anything which can be done using the cheese, my hunger for food almost doubles..:) Today I prepared sandwich using my favorite sweet corn and cheese on tava. I am not having sandwich maker so managed on nonstick tava.. as I can't wait till I get my new sandwich maker..:) used some extra cheese for my sandwich by stealing it from my hubby's share...;)CHEESE...CHEESE...

Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Serves for: 2 persons


Ingredients: 
1 cup - American sweet corn
6 slices - Sweet bread
4 tbsp - Grated cheese
1 tsp - Green Chilly paste (adjust according to taste)
2 tbsp - Tomato sauce
2 tbsp - Green Pudina chutney
2 tsp - Ghee
Salt to taste 


Direction for Preparation: 
1.Heat tava , apply ghee to both sides of bread and roast them until they become bit crispy.Now remove from tava and keep aside.
2.Grind sweet corn coarsely with chilly and salt.(Use fresh corn without boiling them, the taste is great compared to boiled corn)
3.Take roasted bread, apply tomato sauce and pudina chutney side by side (applying of this chutney is left to your imagination, I applied here diagonally half tomato sauce and half pudina chutney)
4.On the top of the sauce and chutney, apply corn mixture and grated cheese.
5.Close the sandwich mixture by another roasted bread.
6. Again roast these on tava in low heat by pressing them using spatula, this is to avoid falling down of corn mixture and as cheese is melting to make it to bind with bread. (you can even use grilled sandwich maker)
8. Serve hot with sauce and some left out corn mixture.
