Veg Club Sandwich

Veg Club Sandwich

This used to be my favorite snack in my childhood days prepared by my mom.In my school days my mom used to make this as afternoon snack.I have done little modification on the original recipe of mom to make it little more healthy.Mom used to spread mashed potatoes on the bottom side before topping it with vegetables.But currently when I make this I omit that mashed potatoes.But obviously mashed potatoes add more taste to it.So on some sinful days when I can't resist myself,I add mashed potatoes.Also mom always used chana(grated paneer) to make this dish and it has less calorie than normal cheese.So here goes the healthy and quick recipe.

Basanti Pulao

Basanti Pulao

Basanti pulao is a typical Bengali dish mostly loved by all the Bongs.It was a staple food at my home for any special occasion or on Sundays.On my birthdays my mom used to make it in a special way.She used to add either paneer or prawn to this dish.The name basanti means yellow color.The beautiful yellow color of the pulao gave it the name basanti pulao. It is little sweet in taste with the aromas of ghee and roasted cashews make it perfect one to cherish! It goes equally good with any non-veg(specially spicy mutton gravy) or paneer gravy.For me I can eat it as it is without anything! huh! I just love it completely..It always reminds me of the occasions and invitations from others.Fish fry,Basanti Pulao,Mutton chaap,date mango chutney,papad,sweet curd(mishti doi) and roshogolla all those together used to be part of the occasion menu..I can close my eyes and still can feel the taste..all these reminds me of bengali wedding,annaprashan or any similar occasion.I am sharing the menu here.
