Feeling a surge of patriotism on the Indian Independence Day? India can always boast of an enticing spread, as India has many regions and cuisines, highlighting our cultural diversity. What better way to mark the day than with the hues of the Indian flag on your dining table. Go on – elevate a piece of bread into a fancy tricolour sandwich!
Make a topping mix: of 1 cup of grated cabbage, 1 cup of grated carrots, 1 cup of chopped spring onions and salt. Add 2 chopped green chillies too if you like it spicy.
Wet a few bread slices with milk.
Spread the topping on each slice evenly. Beat 2 eggs. Coat each slice with the beaten egg.
Warm butter on a grill or pan. Toast each slice evenly, making sure that the topping does not fall off.
