Day : 2
Theme : One Category – Bread Sandwiches
Sub Theme – Sandwich Cakes
For the second day of Cooking Carnival I have a very very desi cake . This is a cake that my sister in law used to make years back, say more than 30 years back. A lot of food habits have changed over the years and so many old recipes are just memories. This is one such memorable recipe.
The recipe is made with three slices of bread, make sure you take a small sized bread. The fillings could be your choice but traditionally we use fresh green peas and green chutney for one filling and ketchup and macaroni for the second. After filling the layers the complete sandwich is coated with potato mixture and then deep fried.This becomes like a monster sandwich to be fried and it is rather tricky to fry . One has to be really careful. Actually we can bake it too, wonder why I have never thought of it before. Anyway this is a fried version, if you try the baked version do let me know how it turns out.
