Chilli Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Welcome back to my sandwich mania!! I have already spoken written about my love for sandwiches in my Vegetable Sandwich and Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Sandwich posts. ( One is comfort and the other one is comfort along with decadence, if it makes any sense :) ) And now today I bring to you the very best Chilli Cheese Sandwich!

Chilli Cheese Sandwich is one of my favorite dishes at our nearby chat shop. I love cheese at the same time have an Indian tongue that craves hot and spicy flavours, Chilli cheese sandwich is one of the perfect recipes that satisfies my both cravings...
The standout thing for this Sandwich is- I have made a paste of chillis ( instead of chopping them ) before mixing with cheese as I love to enjoy my chilli - cheese flavour in every bite. I strongly suggest you not to skip this step as it makes a huge difference in the end result.

And finally the butter though used little, is what that ties it up altogether. I mean chilli, cheese and butter is a lovely combo right? So go ahead and make yourselves some wonderful Chilli Cheese Sandwiches!! Let me know how you liked them...

 Comforting cheesy sandwich with perfect chilli and cheese balance!
 Prep time: 10 min | Cook time: 2 min
 Total time: 12 min |Yield: 2 Sandwiches

Ingredients:
Bread slices: 4

Green chillis: 3
Sea Salt: 1/2 tsp or to taste 
Oil: for greasing 

METHOD:
1) Butter the bread slices and keep them aside. Place the grated cheese in a bowl.
2) Grind the chillis along with sea salt to a smooth paste ( Here, I have used our ammi (grinding stone)) Add the chilli paste to the cheese and mix well with a fork.
3) Apply this chilli cheese mixture to 2 of the buttered bread slices and close with the remaining 2 slices.
4) Preheat your sandwich maker as per its instruction manual. Lightly grease the inside with oil and place the prepared bread. Close and toast for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown on top and the cheese is all melted and hot.

There you have it - The Best Chilli Cheese Sandwich!!!

Here is a little closer look...

NOTES:
1) If you don't have an ammi, you can use a mixer but you need to make a little large batch to make it into a smooth paste ( you can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for 2 days ) If you do have an ammi, now is the right time to use it, because this sandwich is soooo good!
2) While adding salt add carefully as the cheese will also contain salt.
3) You can use any cheese you like. Here I have used mozzarella cheese.



Happy Cooking,

Peanut Butter(PB) Chocolate Banana Sandwich

I love breads!!!
And I love Sandwiches!!!
My love for sandwich started during my college days, when we (my friends and myself) used to skip our regular mess ( not during the biriyani days!!) and give ourselves a treat in the ChillOut ( our little restaurant... outside mess that serves us sandwiches, juices, chaats, snacks....) We used to order variety of sandwiches and tall glasses of juices to accompany them and enjoy them chatting away.......Wish they had served these  PB chocolate banana sandwich then, we would have just gobbled them away.
Actually I didn't think that sweet sandwiches can taste that good. For me then, sandwiches were always savoury. Well nothing can go wrong with chocolate in it, right?? I saw this recipe in a tv show and immediately tried it, and I was so glad that I did it. It was soooo good with gooey chocolate and all the peanut butter and banana goodness...perfect for the start of a big day!!!(well the chocolate will always cheer and boost you up...)

INGREDIENTS:

Bread - 4 slices
Peanut Butter( homemade or store brought ) - 2 to 3 tbsp
Chocolate - 42 g (I used Dairy Milk fruit and nut )
Ripe Banana - 1 medium sized
Melted Butter or oil - for brushing on top (optional)
Sugar - for sprinkling (optional)

METHOD:
1) Apply peanut butter on all the 4 bread slices.
2) Arrange sliced bananas on 2 bread slices and add the chopped chocolate over it. Cover the breads with the remaining 2 slices.
3) Prepare your sandwich maker as per its instruction manual. Arrange the prepared bread on it and brush the top with melted butter or oil and sprinkle some sugar on top.

4) Close and toast for 1 to 2 minutes till golden brown on top. Serve warm.

Warm gooey chocolatey goodness is ready to dive in!!!!

NOTES:
1) You can skip the bananas and make plain peanut butter and chocolate sandwich as well.
2) You can replace Dairy Milk fruit and nut chocolate with plain milk chocolate or even semi-sweet chocolate.  I opted fruit and nut as I like a little crunch in them.
3) Brushing with melted butter or oil and sprinkling sugar on top is optional but I like the sweet and crispy texture of it. You can just toast the sandwich as such as well, it will still be good!!!

Cheers,
