Tiranga Sandwich

Recipe for Tiranga Sandwich

Sandwiches  makes quick breakfast when you  are short of time.

There are different types of sandwiches like grilled cheese sandwich, Avocado sandwich, Hummus sandwich, Tomato cucumber sandwich, Paneer sandwich and the list continues. These easy to make vegetarian sandwiches are so  colorful, creative and healthy.

So on this Republic day I tried to be creative  with  my sandwich by adding colors  with easily available vegetables  to celebrate the national flag.

So here's wishing all my readers a very Happy Republic Day.

May peace, prosperity and happiness be there always.

Tiranga sandwich represents the three colors of the Indian flag (Tiranga) with three layers filling hence the name Tiranga Sandwich or Tricolor Sandwich.

For saffron layer I used carrots and ketchup. I made green layer with Coriander mint chutney and green bell pepper, white layer with mayonnaise and white cabbage .

You can use the veggies of your choice too that suits the color theme. I used white bread slices for this recipe, you can use brown breads too. For vegetables, green color I used green bell pepper (capsicum) along with green chutney, you can  use cucumbers or mix of capsicum and cucumber for green layer.

Also you you can avoid using vegetables completely and can use chutneys for this recipe.

For saffron  layer use onion tomato chutney, for white layer use  coconut chutney and  for  green  layer use green chutney .

This sandwich would be ideal  breakfast recipe for kids especially during the republic and independence day. While I and my husband ate this sandwich with a hot cup of tea. I gave my kids this sandwich along with fruits (orange, banana, kiwi). Kids absolutely loved the concept of using Indian flag color in the recipe.
