Hung Curd Sandwich Dahi Sandwich My Food Story

on Nov 29, 2022 Sandwiches are always a good idea! They are so versatile that everyone loves them. I actually grew up eating a special kind of sandwich made with a dahi or yogurt filling. My mum used to make them for us as a quick evening snack. They’re so good, healthy and hearty that it would keep me and my sister full till dinner! These are super easy to make of course, but the fact that it’s so healthy is a huge plus. The filling is made with thick hung curd or greek yogurt combined with a bunch of crunchy vegetables. The dahi makes it super creamy and moist and the vegetables give it that extra crunch. It is mildly spiced with green chillies and seasoned with just salt and pepper. Delicious! Love Sandwiches?

Ingredients for Toasted Dahi Sandwich

Here’s everything you need for these sandwiches:

Bread: Any bread that you probably have at home works great for this recipe. I’ve used white sandwich bread. Chopped Veggies: I’ve used crunchy veggies like bell pepper, carrot, corn and cabbage that don’t go limp or soggy very fast and can stand up to being mixed with yogurt as a filling. You can use any veggies you like but remember not to add vegetables that leave out water because that can affect the consistency of the filling. I would stay away from tomatoes, cucumbers and even lettuce Hung Curd or Greek Yogurt: You need thick curd for this sandwich. What I generally do is hang curd in a muslin or cheesecloth the morning I intend to make the sandwiches (assuming I have it for lunch or dinner). This helps drain out all the excess watery whey leaving a thick creamy curd. You can also directly use greek yogurt.

How to Make Toasted Dahi Sandwiches

Prep: Start by prepping the filling. Add the hung curd, mixed vegetables, green chilli, salt and pepper to a bowl.
Mix: Use a spoon and mix to combine. Set aside.
Stuff: Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable dahi mix on a slice of bread. Spread it evenly. Cover this with another slice of bread to make it a sandwich.
Butter: Apply a teaspoon of softened butter on both sides of the sandwich and spread it evenly.
Toast: Heat a tawa or frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the middle and reduce the flame to medium.
Toast on both sides for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Slice: Slice diagonally and serve.
Serve immediately as this sandwich will get soggy with time. If you’re planning an afternoon get-together, you can serve this with one of my chai recipes – this combination can’t go wrong!
