I still remember how I got this recipe. I was working out a recipe for sweet corn sandwich long time back and somehow I felt that it was becoming a little dry after sometime. One day I was talking casually to my good friend and fellow baker, Anusha of Delicioso. I have seen Anusha’s customers rave about this sweet corn sandwich of hers. So I begged her for the recipe. Actually I dint have to ask her hard. She was so sweet to give the recipe. She adds a little bit of cream to the filling and that makes the sandwich so rich and flavorful. If you are in Chennai, do check her out. Her cakes are just fabulous.
We worked together in the same bank and for the same client. It was our first job for both of us and we had such good times. Never did we know that we would fall in love with baking. Banking to Baking. Just an “N” short. Not that big a change I guess name wise. She is so passionate about food and her cakes are just too good. She is a chocolate lover and so is her husband. But, I am not. During our initial days, we had gone for a movie at Satyam theatre and after the movie, they both spoke high of a hot chocolate from a nearby place. I told them that I am not a great fan of chocolate. That’s it! They kind of disowned me that day. They both saw me like “What kind of a girl are you?” kind of look. She has helped me a lot during my initial years and still remains one of my very good friends. I wish her a lot of happiness!
The original recipe adds a little spinach in it too. Here is my version of Anusha’s recipe. There are different versions of corn and mayo sandwich that’s made with white sauce, milk etc… But this version is hands down the best.
First we need to make the filling. Try to get the corn that’s available in the market as american corn or sweet corn. Its easily available as frozen sweet corn in the grocery stores. Boil the corn in water for 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Take a pan and add in a teaspoon of oil. Add in the mixed herbs, garlic and onion. Saute the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes until they are soft. Switch off the flame and remove from heat. Set aside.
Take a bowl and add in the onion mixture, cooked corn, pepper powder, coriander leaves, salt, mayo and cream. Mix well to combine. Add in the cheese. Cheese is really an optional ingredient. My son loves cheese in this sandwich. So I add cheese. Mix well and the filling is ready.
Remove the crusts from the sandwich bread slices and fill one side of the bread with the filling. Place another bread on top of the filling and gently press on top. Apply ghee on both sides slightly and set aside. Prepare all the sandwiches like these.
Heat an iron pan or a sandwich maker and toast the sandwich slightly on both sides and serve. Its perfect for school lunch boxes.
