childhood memories my first winning recipe in school contest. The green sandwich

avatar

Hello, greetings. When I was in India I met my childhood friends and we reminisced our school time memories. One of my memories was creating this green sandwich that won a cooking competition when 1 was in the 8th standard. ,(before then i didn't know what a sandwich was) It was under the guidance of my class teacher.
It was the first time i ever participated in such a competition and i won first prize. I am very thankful to my class teacher who encouraged me to enter in contest.
I tried to remember how I made it so many years ago and i came up with this new version.Today I used some olives and cucumber but as I remember That time it was very simple with tomato onion and the green spread..

Back then i might have made differently than this time but the taste is amazing with childhood memories.It looks very easy now but that time it was an adventure to make western food.

This is quite sophisticated for a child. This is why you won. I would like to eat this for lunch and it also looks really cute on the plate. It seems you were a good cook from the beginning. Thanks for sharing your memories.😊❤️

The chili and coriander spread sounds lovely! I bet it can be used for many things other that sandwiches too. Maybe as a dip for cucumbers and carrots, or for a marinade, or just as topping on rice? 😋

This is an exemplary recipe that doesn't use instant sauce @hindavi
