Serve
Replace the chicken with 250g of crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or 2 large boiled and mashed potatoes mixed with the same spices and dressing.
Add 1-2 finely chopped green chillies to the filling or increase the amount of red chilli powder to your preference.
Use whole wheat or multigrain bread. Substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt to reduce fat and calories, and grill with minimal oil instead of butter.
Add other finely chopped vegetables like grated carrots, boiled sweet corn, or finely chopped celery to the filling for extra crunch and nutrition.
Chicken is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and maintaining overall body function.
The carbohydrates from the bread provide a quick and accessible source of energy to fuel your body and brain throughout the day.
Onions and capsicum contribute essential nutrients like Vitamin C and antioxidants, which help support a healthy immune system.
It's a balanced meal providing protein from chicken and carbohydrates from bread. However, the use of mayonnaise and butter makes it higher in fat and calories. For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayo, use multigrain bread, and grill with minimal oil.
One sandwich contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the specific type of bread, the fat content of the mayonnaise, and the amount of butter used for grilling.
Absolutely! Using leftover cooked chicken is a great shortcut and adds extra flavor. Simply shred or chop it and mix it with the dressing and other filling ingredients.
Ensure your curd is very thick (hung curd is best) and don't let the assembled sandwich sit for too long before grilling. Lightly toasting the inside of the bread slices before adding the filling can also create a moisture barrier.
Classic white sandwich bread is traditionally used in Indian cafes for its softness and ability to crisp up nicely. However, brown bread, multigrain bread, or even sourdough work well for a heartier sandwich.
