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.

    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.
