Living in another country is not easy at times. Specially if you are a vegetarian by diet. You have very limited options for eating out. You cannot always eat a croissant or a sandwich just stuffed with green’s and cheese. We need something filling. So the solution is to always carry something along. For shorter journeys or a day journey’s, I always prefer this Aloo toast sandwich.

Toster or Tawa/Pan
This Aloo toast sandwich are quick to make with simple ingredients available at home. I love to make them on the toaster’s which you can put on direct flame. The taste of that is simply delicious, with all that butter adding to taste. I do not have a direct flame gas to cannot use that toaster. I have made this Aloo toasted sandwich in a toaster as I wanted to leave and forget till I do my other task, but you can simply make them on a tawa/pan too.

Sandwich on a Tawa or a grilled pan
As said earlier I also make this aloo toast sandwich on a tawa/pan. I like to use my grill pan, simply because of the beautiful marks it makes on the toast. It appeals to all and kids love to see the beautiful pattern.

A good Finger/Travel Food
This Aloo Toast Sandwich are a great finger food as well as travel food. You can cut them into bite size pieces for the little munchkins to enjoy fuss free. Just hand it over to them while playing in the park or travelling and it will be gone within minutes.

Ingredients
So coming to today’s recipe. I generally add some boiled and finely mashed potatoes and a few spices. Amchoor powder (Raw mango powder) is a must as it gives a nice taste to the sandwich. You can then spread the bread with some butter along with Green coriander chutney or just butter or cheese spread for kids. You can even spread some red sauce. One can customise it to your liking.

I am sharing this as my second recipe for the theme as Travel food, for the event I am hosting jointly withSrivalli’s Kid’s Delight Event . My first recipe for this theme was Methi Puri (Poori) | Fresh Fenugreek leaves Bread

This recipe is one of our favorite for a sandwich filling. Serving it with chutney is the perfect way to serve it.
