Rate the Recipe:
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 sprig 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.

Oh I never tried sandwich with hung curd. I always use Mayonnaise as a medium. This is a healthy option for kids who love sandwiches. Thanks a lot. This recipe is a game changer for me.

I have never eaten a sandwich that is tempered with mustard seeds n curry leaves Madhu Ma’am. Love the idea n want to try it. I hang curd a lot cuz I make my ‘world famous’ dip regularly😀. The next time I do, I will make these sandwiches.

This is an unusual recipe, Madhu ji. I make a similar one with yoghurt and grated coconuts and tempered it.

Mam, altogether you changed my perspective about the use of curd with bread. It is always a better choice over market available bread spreads. Health i very important these days and this recipe will be a life saver for many moms like me willing to give tasty yet healthy food to their kids.

I used to make it with mayo. But this is a healthy version. I like the tadka of curry leaves on sandwich, something new and tasty.

Indeed, the Hung Curd Sandwich recipe is truly amazing. The mix of creamy hung curd and fresh veggies not only looks tempting but also gives a healthy twist to a classic sandwich. This is an all-time favorite in my house and the best part is that kids like it when it is made by my husband. This tempering part is something new for me to try.

The go-to breakfast when in a rush and it is so filling too. Up there in my list of favorites. The tadka is the cherry on top. Just makes it more yummy.
September 27, 2023 @ 4:34 pm
Thank you so much Beta. It sure is delicious 😋
September 27, 2023 @ 4:35 pm
This has been in my mind to make it for my family. Though I don’t eat curd in any raw form as in i marinate things with curd and fry or cook and also use in curries but do not eat it directly. The tadka part is very interesting. probably this weekend it’s going to be our breakfast.
