322.egg avocado mayonnaise sandwich

your protein boost

Sandwiches are such versatile meals, be it as a light lunch, a quick snack, to go along with some soup or salad or for lunch boxes and picnics. The variety of breads makes sandwich making even more fun. The Ennsvalley breads sold at Nakumatt are not bad at all. Buy slices, buns or french loaves. Sandwiches are made quite often at our home for dinner. Egg and avocado combined is an amazing taste and very refreshing. Today I am going share a recipe using avocado mayonnaise. I didn't bother to make mayonnaise at home as I have a huge jar of ready made mayonnaise sitting in the fridge. To mask the vinegary taste I added avocado to it and hey presto I got a sandwich which hubby dear loved. Whenever I am in London, I tend to use a lot of watercress in salads and sandwiches.



EGG AVOCADO MAYONNAISE SANDWICH
For 2 as a meal or 4 as a snack

2 or 4 buns or a french loaf
3 boiled eggs
3 to 4 tsp butter
½ cup finely chopped lettuce

For the avocado mayonnaise:
3 tbsp avocado puree
1 tbsp mayonnaise 
¼ tsp garlic paste
1 tsp pepper
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander or watercress

  1. Prepare the mayonnaise first. Mix all the ingredients well in a small bowl.
  2. Shell the eggs and chop it up finely.
  3. Mix the eggs and mayonnaise.
  4. Cut the buns or french loaf into half, horizontally. Butter the halves and toast it on a pan or under the grill (broiler).
  5. Place the chopped lettuce on one half of the bread. 
  6. Top it up with the egg mayonnaise mixture.
  7. Cover with the other half of the bread and serve with your favourite salad or soup.
Tips:
  • Tastes equally good on untoasted bread. To carry it for lunches or picnics, just pack the egg mayonnaise mixture in a separate container. When required, just top the buttered bread with lettuce and egg mixture.
  • Use any bread that you prefer, slices, panini, ciabatta etc.
  • To test for freshness of eggs, place an egg in a glassful or mugful of water. If it sinks to the bottom, the egg is good and if it floats the egg is bad.
  • Adjust salt according to your taste.
  • Boil the eggs according to your preference.

The Holiday State    February is when Shhh Cooking Secretly group (started by Priya of Priya's Versatile Recipes ) had a virtual tour of Goa. Its been over 30 years since I've visited Goa. I remember when we were passing the town centre, there was a huge crowd of people. We asked the taxi driver what was going on and he replied "koi naya actor ki shooting chal rahi hai, aap ko dekhna hai?" he asked. We asked if he knew the actor and he said no so we didn't stop to watch. Who was the new actor? None other than Shakrukh Khan shooting for the movie Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa!    I remember we were staying at some hotel in town and would go to the Taj Holiday Resort to get onto the beach. Back then there were not many hotels. I remember getting to the beach and for miles there would hardly be anyone. There use to be a fish shack near Taj and hubby, my brother and my cousin would enjoy fresh fish and I'd get only French fries (fishy ones)!    Goa is  the smallest states

337.Green tomato jam

My first jam making session      I have over the years accumulated many jam recipes but have never tried making jam. I don't know, is it because I feel it might be difficult or I get scared to sterilise the jars. Don't know why. However, today Julius my househelp, walks in with a whole bag of green tomatoes from his farm. I got excited and instantly the recipe for the green tomato jam came out my recipe book. I was a bit hesitant as I had no idea how the jam would turn out. It tastes yummy and I had some with plain paratha as a snack in the afternoon. The jam is sweet and tangy at the same time. It didn't take long at all and I think now the jam bug is slowly creeping into my bones. Its funny how I get stuck onto certain things for a period of time, first it was salads, then bread, followed by muffins then the cookie bug took over and now it seems its jams. Planning to make some to take for my Nunu and my daughter, Nami as I am travelling very soon to India. Will try out di

Buckwheat savoury pancakes#Bread Bakers Starting a healthy year   The Bread Bakers theme for January is Ancient Grains hosted by Robin Beck of  A Shaggy Dough Story . I'll be honest, had a slight idea about ancient grains but never actually paid much attention to it. I have used some of them not knowing that they are classed as ancient grains. My research began on the internet as to what really are ancient grains(heritage grains). All the grains we know are somewhat ancient as they have existed for years. However ancient grains are ones that have not changed over the last hundred years i.e have not been hybridized. They have not been modified over the years.Ancient grains have more robust texture thriving without much pesticides and fertilizers.Some of the most common ancient grains are quinoa, millet, spelt, teff, sorghum, farro(emmer), kamut(khorasan), chia, freekeh,amaranth, buckwheat,barley, wild rice. I realised that the Indian cuisine uses quite a few of these ancient grains
