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.
Health Benefits:
The bread comprises the carbs, cashews & cheese provide the protein & fat. Green Peas & lettuce leaves give the necessary iron & fibre. Hence, I consider this sandwich as a wholesome meal.

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.
