Potato Cheese Sandwich with a Cold Mango Salad

Now this creation is inspired by my Gurya phupho's cooking. We lived with her for a year in Pindi (Pakistan) and used to enjoy these open potato sandwiches with warm soup in cold winter nights. I have changed few things, as I felt like having something spicy and with a cold side salad. Now my biggest hero for this lunch delicious-ness is Gluten Free Udi Brand Brown bread. I made this lunch, especially to put it on the blog :)

Ingredients for Open Sandwich:

2 medium boiled potatoes
2 slices of Udi Bread (GF Bread)
1 egg
2 slices of chedder cheese
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1 green chile/Jalapeno
1 tbsp chopped cilantro(parsley)
1 tsp lemon juice

First make the potato mixture, add all the spices and lemon juice and mix and mash it all up (this mixture is used to make potato cutlets as well.) Then slice cheese and put it on defrosted Udi bread and pile on half an inch of potato mixture and spread it on the toast. Then soak both sides in stirred egg. Shallow fry both sides on a medium high heat until golden-brown.

Ingredients for the mango salad:
1/2 a mango julienne
1/2 cup sliced cabbage
1/2 sliced apples
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp of yoghurt (add more if you want creaminess, just increase the salt input)
pinch of paprika (to compliment the sandwich)

Slice all the veggie/fruit thinly. Start with vinegar and honey, then add salt and whisk. Then add oil and yoghurt and paprika and whisk again. Add it to the salad and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Note:

(You can omit the egg and cook it like a grilled cheese sandwich with a little less oil.)
(You can always lessen the spice for kids and non-spicy palette)

Seafood near Ajman Beach

Ajman city Raw fresh Seafood Buffet The food was delicious and I love the appetizers that come on the side, hummus, Baba Ganoush, Pickled vegetables, arugala and whole tomatoes. Just fresh and healthy start to a delicious meal. I wanted to have fresh seafood and my brother suggested this beautiful small place right across from the beach, in Ajman city. We chose fresh seafood pieces from a buffet style table. The drive there was beautiful and i was amazed by the architecture of this city that reflected the persian style and boats added a mystical charm. I recommend to give this city a try whenever you visit UAE.

I was in third grade, and we were sitiing in peshawer AC flats and were having lunch in our long two doorway dining room. The table cloth was striped yellow, blue and white. My mom served us spinach and like any other kid i started playing with a little left over. I would squeeze it in my hand and drink the broth that would come out. I did not have spinach for 6 years after that incident . Then one day, my mom cooked Palak chicken for a party and i had some with white rice and some plain yougurt. I re-discovered the yummiest vegetable known to me! I cooked today thinking how easy it is nowadays to cook palak. FrozenPackets of vegetables make our lives so easy. I started with half a cup sliced red onion with 2 table spoons of oil in a pan. Then i made 2 tsps of ginger and garlic paste (mush it up) and added to the onion when they turned light brown on medium high heat. Then i added two chicken breast cut in cubes and sauteed them with onion, garlic and ginger and added the following spi...
