The spinach and corn sandwich is one of those very nutritious and tasty snacks that make it so easy and scrumptious at the same time. First of all, let's talk about its filling. In a large tawa or frying pan, melt 1 teaspoon butter over medium heat.

Then add the finely chopped onions. The onions need to be saut ed until they become soft and translucent.

This would be the rich base for the filling. Once the onions are ready, add 1 cup of fresh spinach (palak) to the pan. As the spinach cooks, it collapses, tosses out its water and softens.

This should take about 2 minutes. Stir occasionally so that it does not stick. Now, when the spinach has wilted, add in 1/2 cup of sweet corn, either boiled or from a can.

Sweet corn adds a natural sweetness that balances the earthy flavour of spinach; this mix adds richness to the nutrient and flavourful filling.
- 6
Season the spinach and corn mixture. Add in 1/2 teaspoon of mixed herbs, including Italian seasoning or a combination of dried oregano, basil, and thyme.
- 7
If you like a little spice, add in 1/2 teaspoon of chilli flakes; otherwise, omit them. Season with ¼ teaspoon of black pepper and salt to taste.

Mix everything well together until all spices are well mixed. Fry the mixture for another minute or two until the flavours just have time to mix. When the spinach and corn are well seasoned and scented, put the mixture aside while you make the bread.

For the sandwich: Use 2 slices of bread, whatever kind you want: whole wheat, multigrain, white, whatever. On each slice, apply a spread of 1 teaspoon of green chutney. This will add that tart, fresh flavour to the sandwich.

Green chutney is prepared with the help of fresh coriander, mint leaves, green chillies, lemon juice, etc. You can either buy them from outside or prepare them in your own home.

When the chutney spread is evenly fixed on both slices, scoop two tablespoons of the spinach and corn mixture on the slice of bread, leaving the entire slice covered with that mixture. To add a better layer of flavour, a cheese slice is placed over the mixture, which melts while grilling, giving an ultimate creamy texture that adds excitement to the taste of the sandwich.

Put the second slice of bread on the filling and press down gently so that everything is in place. Put a little bit of butter into the tawa or the sandwich maker, and put the sandwich on it or insert it in the sandwich maker.

Cook it on medium heat till the sides turn golden brown and crisp. If you are using a tawa, flip this sandwich slowly so that both sides are toasted to perfection.
- 14
So, what you want to get to is this crunch on the outside, and the cheese inside melts and binds all the ingredients together. Then take it out of the pan from both sides, done and golden.

Finally, place this sandwich on a cutting board and cut it in half. The melted cheese and the vibrant green spinach and yellow corn peeking through the layers of the sandwich will make it irresistible.
- 16
Serve the sandwich hot with your favourite condiments: ketchup, mayonnaise, or extra green chutney.
