Being a South Indian, my most preferred food, both to eat and cook, is rice with South Indian style curry / dal. Once in a fortnight my husband favours roti with a Masala side, so I make it for his sake. At times when, for whatever reason, neither of these appeal to my kids, these sandwiches become an instant appealing option for them. 🙂

Us being vegetarians (not eating eggs too), this mayo is a frequent visitor in my kitchen. This recipe produces an incredibly taste-bud-tantalising mayo. Each time I make this, my kids live for it.

For this sandwich, I used green chillies, while this may seem like a lot of spice but I can assure you that the home- made mayo is quite spice absorbent.

To Make Vegan Mayo:

Soak the cashew nuts in hot water, for 10 mins.

Blend everything until creamy in texture.

Tips:

Adjust the salt and spice as per your taste.
While making the mayo, you can either use soaked water (or) add oil instead. I eliminated oil, used only soaked water.
For kids, try to eliminate / reduce the green chillies.
You can use any other bread of your choice. I used Wholemeal Bread in this recipe.
If you prefer to use your own mayo / store bought mayo, just replace it.
Make the sandwiches, wrap them in cling film and store for 1 day in fridge.
