Bread slices – 12

Chopped onion – 3 tblsp

Chopped capsicum – 3 tblsp

Chopped tomato – ½ cup

Sliced baby corn – ½ cup

Garlic paste – 1tsp

Salt – to taste

Vegetable oil – 2 tblsp

Extra Virgin Olive Oil – for grilling

Method:

1.    Trim the bread slices and keep aside. Crumble the cottage cheese.

2.    Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and add in the onion and capsicum. Cook till the raw smell goes away. Add in the tomato and the garlic. Season with salt and cook for a minute. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 mins on low heat.

3.    Add the Pav Bhaji masala and green chillies. Pour in ¼ cup of water and cook for a minute. Once it starts simmering, add in the crumbled cottage cheese. Mix well.

4.    Add in the baby corn. Mix thoroughly. Check the seasoning and adjust it. Cook briefly. Sprinkle the coriander leaves. Turn off the heat. Give it a final mix and let it cool down.

5.    Once it has cooled down, add in the honey, walnuts (break them into smaller pieces) and the pomegranate seeds. Toss it up.

6.    Lay the bread slices in pairs. Place a slice of cheese on each. Add a generous amount of filling on one slice of each pair. Cover with the top slice (cheese slice inside). Press lightly.

7.    Heat a grill pan or oven. If using a pan, brush with extra virgin olive oil. Place one sandwich on the grill and cook on low to medium for a minute on each side or until you get a crunchy exterior. Brush the sides with oil as required. Take them out.

8.    Serve hot as anytime snack.
