I could never imagine making a raita sandwich, until I ate one. Believe me it tasted so good and definitely healthier because there are no fatty things in the stuffing. This is my bhabhi's innovative idea of using the left over raitas. You may use any raita of your choice. Do give it a try, I'm sure you are going to like it too. Here I am making with corn raita. You can have many variations like boiled potato, green peas, cucumber etc etc.
How to make Corn Raita .... see - HERE Method:
1. Take 2 slices of brown / white bread.
2. Drain out the excess liquid from the raita and spread it on one slice. Place the other one on top.
3. Apply butter on the slices and toast it in a sandwich toaster or you can do it on the griddle also pressing the slices with a spatula on medium flame until crisp and golden brown.
No. of servings - 1
Preparation time ... 10 mins.
Spice level .. 2 out of 5
