Muttai Sandwich

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Masala Base

   • Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and green chilies, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
   • Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until its raw aroma disappears.
   • Stir in the finely chopped tomato and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it becomes soft and pulpy.
2. 2

   Spice the Mixture

   • Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper powder to the pan.
   • Mix everything well and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to become fragrant.
3. 3

   Scramble the Eggs

   • Reduce the heat to low. Crack the 4 eggs directly into the pan with the masala.
   • Using a spatula, gently break the yolks and start scrambling. Mix the eggs continuously with the masala.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft and moist. Avoid overcooking to keep the filling creamy.
4. 4

   Assemble the Sandwiches

   • Turn off the heat and stir in the freshly chopped coriander leaves.
   • Lay out the 4 bread slices. Apply softened butter evenly on one side of each slice.
   • Divide the egg mixture into two equal portions and spread it on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.
   • Place the remaining two bread slices on top, with the buttered side facing outwards.
5. 5

   Toast and Serve

   • Heat a tawa (griddle) or a frying pan over low-medium heat.
   • Carefully place one assembled sandwich on the hot tawa.
   • Toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
   • Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
   • Slice the toasted sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately with tomato ketchup or green chutney.
