Layered Hung Curd Sandwich :
Dietary note :
✔ Kids friendly
✔ No-Cook sandwich
✔ Easy and quick to assemble
Ingredients for this layered sandwich :
- Bread - Any bread like white, multigrain, whole wheat etc can be used here to make these sandwiches. I have used white bread here. Also I have used only 6 slices to make two layered sandwiches each having 3 bread slices.
- Vegetables – Feel free to use the vegetables here in this sandwich as per convenience. I have used finely chopped cabbage, carrot, capsicum (bell pepper), sweet corn, onion, tomato, cucumber. Some others like beetroot, spring onion, mushroom (slightly cooked) etc one can add.
- Spices – I have picked only black pepper powder along with few red chili flakes. One can add Italian herbs here for some extra flavor.
- Hung Curd – This is used to bind all the fillings. Instead of this one can use the store bought Greek yogurt too.
- Spread - Only green chutney (mint-coriander chutney) and tamarind chutney I have used to smear the bread slices. Instead of tamarind chutney, tomato sauce can be picked.
- Butter - I have not used butter here. One can smear butter in each bread slices before putting any other things over the bread slices. Also the bread slices can be toasted in the pan with some butter. I have not toasted the bread here too.
How to make the layered hung curd sandwich ?
In a mixing bowl first the hung curd along with finely chopped cabbage, finely chopped bell pepper, finely chopped carrot, boiled sweet corn, salt and black pepper powder are mixed well. Next the bread slices are trimmed from all the sides using a knife. (This process is optional, one can keep the brown edges).
Then for a layered hung curd sandwich first three bread slices are placed over a plate. The green chutney is smeared over one bread slice and then 4 (put as desired) onion slices are placed side by side followed by 4 tomato slices. Few red chili flakes and salt are then sprinkled over the tomato slices. Next half of the curd mixture is put over the second bread slice evenly and then this bread slice is placed over the above bread slice. 4 (put as desired) cucumber slices are then put side by side on top of this bread slice. Again few red chili flakes and salt are sprinkled over the cucumber slices. After that the tamarind chutney (use tomato sauce if tamarind chutney is not available) is smeared over the third bread slice and finally this bread slice is placed over the hung curd bread slice with the chutney smeared side down.
Gently the whole bread stack is pressed and using a sharp knife, it is cut into 2/ 4 parts (either into triangular or square shapes). The layered hung curd sandwiches is now ready.

Serving suggestion :
This layered hung curd sandwich is a very healthy sandwich which is liked by any age group. This is one of the simple yet eye-catchy sandwich in layered form and is perfect for either breakfast, snack or even for a light meal. I have kept this super simply and used only hung curd. One can add some mayonnaise, cream cheese etc too along with hung curd. And yes, always prefer to have these sandwiches immediately, else these will tend to slightly soggy. The ingredients here are the easily available kind in the pantry and also kids will surely enjoy to make these as these are so easy to assemble.

Notes:
Feel free to use the vegetables as desired like beetroot, spring onion, mushroom (slightly cooked) etc. Serve this sandwich immediately as it becomes soggy if kept to serve later. The layering pattern also can be varied. Any bread like white, multigrain, wheat etc can be used here to make these sandwiches. I have not toasted the sandwich. If you want, then simply spread better over a pan and toast the sandwich from both sides. Always use fresh hung curd. The bread slices used here are also not toasted. You may toast the bread slice first and then do the layering. To make hung curd, first line a muslin cloth over a colander and keep the colander over a bowl. Pour the curd (check here how to make curd at home) over the muslin cloth gently. Tie the cloth and keep over the colander till all the water (whey) drains out which takes hardly 2-3 hours. Then the hung curd will be ready to use. Along with pepper powder, some Italian seasoning can be added. The ingredients can be doubled or tripled as per the requirement.
