Vegetable Mayo Sandwich

This sandwich is simple and delicious. I would love to share a story about this sandwich :). Couple of weeks ago we were on Vacation in Blue Ridge Mountains. On our way to a hike we stopped at this old Country store to pack us some sandwiches for lunch. We asked the old lady in that store if they have any Vegetarian Sandwich on menu, they didn't had any. But that sweet old lady made this customized sandwich for us which I re-created when we came back home from our Vacation. The sandwich was made with simple ingredients as mayo, cucumbers, onions etc but it was so delicious and Celery added a nice crunch to the Sandwich.

Ingredients(Make 5 sandwiches)
10 Bread Slices wheat or white(lightly toasted)
2 Medium tomatoes sliced
1 Cucumber sliced
2 Stalks from Celery (washed, peeled and cut into 3 inch sticks)
1 Red Onion sliced
5 Cheese slices
Iceberg Lettuce Leaves
Mayonnaise as required
Salt and pepper as required

Method
Spread mayonnaise on all the slices of bread. Take on a slice of bread and keep lettuce on it followed by cucumber, tomato, onion and last but not the least celery. Add salt and pepper and cheese slice and top it with another slice of bread.
Cut in half and enjoy. Apply same procedure for the remaining slices of bread. Simple and delicious Vegetable Mayo Sandwich is ready!!

Guide to Green Leafy Vegetables

 The idea for this post came from one of my dear friend. She one day asked me what kind of green leafy vegetables you make. I said to her that I make quite a few. She suggested why don't I post pictures and names of the leafy vegetables that we get here in US. I liked her idea and started writing this post. Just a note that I have mentioned only the ones that I have used in my kitchen. There are plenty of leafy greens out there to try! In marathi we call all leafy greens as पालेभाज्या. My mom makes variety of greens but living in US we might not get all of them as in India. I shop for groceries in a Korean store but they carry all Indian vegetable variety plus all other Indian groceries.  I tried some new leafy greens and tried to make Indian/Marathi style recipes. I have listed names of few greens that I normally cook with. Swiss Chard Young Radish Mustard Greens or Sarson/सरसों का साग  Red Shen Choy/लाल माठ  Gongura/Sour Leaf/आंबाडी Spinach/Palak Methi/Fenugreek Le...

Ragi Kheer/नाचणीची खीर

Ragi is a power grain which has wonderous amount of health benefits. It is rich in calcium, iron, protein and fiber to name a few.  It is also known as Finger Millet or Nachnai in some parts. Ragi flour is made from this powerful grain and can be used in variety of ways. It can be used to make roti, bhakri, sweet kheer, thalipeeth, dosas, cakes, cookies and so on and so forth.   Even with its immense health benefits I feel we still haven't really embraced Ragi in our day to day diet. Todays recipe is a sweet preparation of ragi flour. It is actually a very good option for breakfast or post workout meal. I added some nuts for crunch on top but it is completely optional.  This recipe will serve one. Ingredients 1 tbs Ragi Flour 1 tsp Ghee/Clarified Butter 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup milk 1 tbs Jaggery For toppings chopped toasted mixed nuts like almonds, pecans or walnuts(optional) Also golden raisins for toppings(optional) Method In a pan melt ghee and add ragi flour on low...
