I haven’t attached the recipe of the chicken tikka in this recipe as I just used the left overs. But if you are making everything from scratch, here is a good recipe for chicken marination. Or you could be more adventurous and just use any chicken left overs that you have at hand.

PROTIP

No matter what sandwich you decide to make, make sure to always keep them covered after assembling. The bread WILL dry out if left open.

I have served this sandwich hot, cold and at room temperature and I can safely say that it tastes good no matter how you chose to serve it.

Personally, I love them for breakfasts too! If I skip cutting them and just simply slather all the toppings on it (I mean who has time to fix a fancy breakfast)

OTHER TOPPINGS FOR THE TIKKA SANDWICH

Some other toppings that go really well with this sandwich are onions, tomatoes and surprisingly jalapenos. Lets dig right into the recipe!

So Basic!

That would be the ingredients I am referring to. Cabbage, iceberg, capsicum, cream and mayo are all things you probably already have in your fridge. Go give this a shot

BONUS: TRICK TO PREVENT SOGGY BREAD

So like with any cold cut sandwich, this sandwich also runs the danger of making the bread a little soggy from the inside. To counter this, what I like to do is, I like to grill or toast only the inner side of the bread lightly and layer it with a very thin layer of butter. This acts as a water lock to an extent and keeps your sandwiches fresher for longer.

PREPPING BEFORE HAND

If you are like me, then you probably like getting things done way ahead of time. If you plan on making these for a high-tea, then a good point to note is to not mix the sauce with the veggies. You can cut the veggies and make the sauce and store both separately. This is because as soon as vegetables mix with salt or sugar, they release water which will make your mixture runny. You can however prep them in an hour in advance, just not over night.

Mayo is healthy right? Substitutions

If it were up to me, I would TOTALLY state this as a healthy recipe because you know veggies! But apparently mayo and bread don’t qualify as very healthy. But hey you could always make the following substitutions and make this recipe a part of your fitness menu:

HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES

• Mayonnaise – More fresh low fat cream
• Sugar – With Stevia or Honey
• White bread – Multi grain bread

VARIETY IS KEY

What other vegetables go well with this creamy base? I’ve added tomatoes, shredded carrots and cucumbers in the past and they go really really well with the other veggies and sauce. Hey let me know if you try any other others that work out for you.

Ingredients

• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1 cup chopped iceberg lettuce
• 1 tbsp heaped fresh cream
• 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
• 2 tsp sugar

• Mix sugar, black pepper powder, vinegar, cream and mayonnaise together in a bowl

• Coat the inner side of your bread with mayonnaise and use the vegetable filling to make sandwiches. Your cold cut sandwiches are ready!

Notes

If you want to prepare the sandwich filling ahead of time, chop the vegetables and make the sauce and store separately. The salt and the sugar may lead the vegetables to release water and make the mixture runny hence are stored separately. When it is time to serve the sandwiches, then mix the vegetables with the sauces and makes the sandwiches.
