Capsicum Sandwich

Here is a simple and healthy filling for sandwiches made with capsicum and fenugreek greens, suitable for spicy food loving palates. One can opt for other herbs, cheese and less spice to make it more kid friendly. Use pav bhaji masala / garam masala or any other spice powder instead of chili powder for a different flavored filling. This curry filling serves two adults generously and can be used for 4 to 6 bread slices.

Ingredients: (Yield 2 servings)
6 bread slices of your choice (I used multi grain, nuts and seeds one.)
1 tbsp. oil
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1 onion, finely chopped (About 1/2 cup)
1 tomato, diced
1 green capsicum - seeds removed and chopped (About 1 cup)
1 cup fresh fenugreek greens / methi
1/8 tsp. ground turmeric 
Salt to taste
Chili powder to taste
Butter as needed


Directions:
* Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. When they start to brown, add onion and saute on medium flame until it starts to brown. Add tomatoes, capsicum pieces, fenugreek greens, turmeric and salt. Continue to cook until capsicum is almost done. Add chili powder as needed and cook for a couple of minutes and turn off the stove.
* Spread butter lightly on both sides (or only one side if preferred) of the bread slices. Spread capsicum curry evenly on a bread slice and cover it with another slice. Repeat the step with the other four remaining bread slices.
* Toast them in a sandwich maker / grill or on stove top in a pan until golden brown on both sides.
