Tiffin Recipe: Plantain And Cheese Sandwich

Plantain Cheese Sandwich is my replacement for Potato Sandwich and with added boiled beans I tend to add more protein apart from what comes from cheese. An ideal sandwich for kids to carry in lunch boxes. Its fulfilling and the taste is balanced because of the sweetness while adding mexican seasonings give a nice twist to the regular taste and tint of spice needed to keep up the taste buds.

If you don’t have mexican seasonings, just used regular garam masala and that too would work well. I liked how the combination of cheese and plantain worked together and every bite tasted great. Incase you don't have green chutney, you can give it a skip too for it just enhances more flavour along with the plaintain mixture. A good meal with combination of Carbohydrates and protein, do not miss adding tomato slices as they give a nice bite feeling at the end and also make the sandwich little juicy.

Let me know how it comes out while you try it.
