Transform regular sandwiches into something special with the Hung Curd Sandwich. Including protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients, this breakfast recipe is the perfect start to the day.

Ingredients
- 4 slices brown bread
- 1-2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp grated carrots
- 2 tbsp chopped capsicum
- 2 tbsp chopped onions
- 1-2 green chillies chopped
- 1 tsp chopped ginger
- 1 tbsp fresh green coriander leaves
- 3 tbsp hung curd
- 2 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tsp chilli sauce
- 1-2 tbsp oil for cooking
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
For tempering
- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds (sarson)
- 1 spring curry leaves
Instructions
- To begin, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix together onions, grated carrots, capsicum, chopped green chillies, ginger, and fresh coriander leaves.
- To prepare the sandwich, butter the bread slices on one side. Spread the filling generously on one of the slices. And top it with the other slice, butter side down.
- For the tempering, heat a tawa or a griddle and grease it with oil. Pour in 1 tsp of oil. Add in some mustard seeds along with curry leaves as you would for a tadka. Allow them to crackle.
- Place the sandwich over the tadka, press it down, and gently move it a bit so that it does not stick. Cook on medium heat until crisp and golden.
- Spread some oil on top and turn the sandwich over. Cook until this side is crisp and golden too.
- Remove from heat. The Hung Curd Sandwich is ready. Enjoy with ketchup or a dip of your choice.
Notes
- To prepare the hung curd, strain the whey from regular curd by tying it in a muslin cloth and hanging it at a height so that all the liquid gets drained out.
- Experiment with different vegetable options for the stuffing.
- If hung curd is not available, you can replace it with Greek yogurt.

I like the tadka over the bread part. It sounds so delicious. And this is really a healthy sandwich, unlike those mayo filled ones.

The tadka is something I haven’t tried though I regularly use hung curd in my sandwiches. The tadka idea looks fantastic. We sometimes steam the carrots lightly if they are too hard /off-season. I also use grated green papaya sometimes inside or cucumber.
