Description
Herb Crusted vegetable sandwich .This recipe is vicky ratnanis but i have made my twists and turns to my liking. The first time i tried this sandwich , i made just 2 not sure if it would taste good. My hubby loved it so much that he wanted more. Anything related to bread my mind gets rewinded to good shephered public school as we were served freshly baked bread twice a week for breakfast. The air filled with the aroma while baking bread is better than eating bread. Any one who has not experienced it yet is surely missing out the best in life. We were served bread with a pineapple jam made in school or an egg curry for breakfast.Saturday night bread was served with a beef and potato curry. My classmate madhavi from tirupathi used to bring red hot andhra home made tomato pickle. Sindhu , sulu (my best buddies) and myself used to hide bread slices inside our sweaters and run to our dom to have a sandwich made with madhavis tomato pickle. Life was filled with sweet nothing’s back then.
