LUNCH - Spinach Corn Sandwich - To make Spinach Corn Sandwich - (Click on the highlighted link to get the detailed recipe) I made half of this recipe which is good for 1 person. You can make spinach corn stuffing ahead of time and refrigerate, I usually make the previous night and then grill the sandwich in the morning. let them cool a bit (let the steam settle) and then pack them in the box. Do not pack while they are very hot, once you close the steam may spoil the entire content and becomes soggy.

Ingredients
  

Measuring cup used 1 cup = 250ml

  • 1 tablespoon butter (or oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup spinach (palak) finely chopped
  • ½ cup boiled sweet corn
  • 1 tablespoon maida (all purpose flour) (or corn starch)
  • ½ cup cold milk
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella (or processed cheese)
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • salt to taste

for spinach corn sandwich:

  • 6 bread slices
  • butter as required
  • shredded mozzarella as required

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, heat butter and saute the garlic for a minute.
  • Add boiled sweet corn & spinach and saute till it's cooked.
  • Add all-purpose flour and cook for a minute. Then add the cold (chilled) milk.
  • Cook well until it thickens, Approximately takes 3-4 minutes.
  • Then add processed cheese, red chili flakes, black pepper powder, salt & Italian seasoning and mix well.
  • Turn off the flame and let it cool completely.
  • Spread creamy spinach corn mixture on one side of bread, add some more grated cheese on top. Then cover with another slice of bread.
  • Either grill or toast the sandwich on both sides on tawa with some butter.
  • Serve it hot with green chutney or ketchup.

Notes

Tips & Variations

    • Use brown or multigrain bread for healthier choices.
    • You can also replace maida (all-purpose flour) with wheat flour or cornflour.
    • Toast the bread on tawa or use a sandwich maker or grill to golden and crisp.
    • Always add chilled/cold milk so you won’t get any lumps of the flour.
    • I have used only mozzarella cheese for this recipe but the combination of mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese can be used. If you do not have mozzarella cheese use processed cheese or grated paneer.
    • You can also add onions while sauteing but this is completely optional.
    • If you are vegan skip mozzarella or use vegan cheese. Replace butter with oil.
    • Add more or less spinach or cheese according to your preference for this palak corn sandwich.
