Veg Sandwich Recipe

Veg sandwich recipe with step by step pictures and video. Easy vegetable sandwich with onion,carrot and capsicum filling, it can be made in just few minutes.

This veg sandwich or vegetable sandwich is one of the easiest sandwich recipes I have made so far. This can be one of the ideal lunch box recipes for kids and office goers too.

I always look for easy sandwich recipes and this one is perfect as it can be done quickly. Once veggies are cut and ready you can make this sandwich in a jiffy.

About veg sandwich recipe:

This sandwich is basically made with vegetable filling placed inbetween 2 slices of bread, then toasted in butter. Make the stuffing with vegetables sauted and spiced up with indian spices like red chilli powder and garam masala powder. I have used most common vegetables found in every indian kitchen like onion, capsicum and carrot. But the variations are endless. I have used mayo for binding else the filling will be dry and may fall apart while cutting.

Variations:

  • You can add any variety of mix vegetables like mushroom, corn, spinach etc.
  • I have used mayo for binding you can use white sauce or even hung curd.
  • Adding cheese gives it a nice taste and kids will love it for sure. You can add grated cheese or cheese slice.
  • You can either grill the sandwich using a griller or just toast in dosa tawa like I have did.

Serving and Storage:

  • This sandwich can be had as such or served with tomato sauce.
  • I got 3 sandwich for this measurement. Serve it hot for best taste.
  • I wouldn’t recommend storing as the filling will make the bread soggy.

No bake Biscoff cheesecake recipe

No bake biscoff cheesecake recipe with detailed stepwise photos and video. No gelatin, agar agar or baking involved. Just 5 main ingredients!

A slice of biscoff cheesecake with a drizzle, biscuit on top
[feast_advanced_jump_to]

Before even knowing the hype about these Lotus Biscoff biscuits, I randomly picked a pack of this in Fairprice when Aj was studying his Primary. I used to pack some dry snacks and one day I pack biscuits.

I thought it was local brand and had no idea it is this much known brand. Recently only I came to know about it after tiktok and Instagram Biscoff trend. Though I buy for Aj, will I refrain from eating, hehe.

I love it a lot with coffee/ milk like how we dip and have it along like other biscuits. Later, we got bored of this biscuits and stopped, forgotten for years.

Cheesecake cross section

During lockdown, I somehow found there is also spread in this through Instagram. I got very excited once while ordering, saw it in Redmart. Ordered it rightaway.

Like most of the spreads, I know it is loaded with sugar and fat. Somehow I like nutella, but never become crazy about it given the fact about the ingredients in it.

Same way, I could not have it without any guilt. Also I like the biscuits better than spread. But surprisingly, Vj started to love this and we got few rounds of this spread.

Other than milkshake and coffee, I never experimented in creating recipes. But since Mother’s day coming up, you might be looking for some desserts. Especially, no-bake recipes for Mother’s day. Recipe partially adapted from here.

Serving suggestion for biscoff cheesecake

🍪 About the biscuit

If you are new to Biscoff biscuits, it’s also known as speculaas or speculoos. It’s an European cookie, baked with spices. Lotus Biscoff is a popular brand which sells biscuits with a subtle flavor of cinnamon and a strong caramelized flavor.

It goes well with coffee, tea as they claim. The spread is just a cookie butter, a spreadable paste with ground cookies in it, with same taste.

🍰 Texture

Did I mention before in my posts, that I am not a big fan of cheesecake? Somehow I don’t. Aj loves it and Vj is neutral about it. It has nothing to do with texture but the taste.

I can’t stand the savory taste of cheese in dessert. But this no bake Biscoff cheesecake is not at all like the regular one, I should tell you. Thanks to all the cream we fold in, sugar and the cookie spread.

It is more creamy, mousse like to be precise. I am in a hot humid place, so with all the video shooting and the climate, it was really soft and melting while shooting. But, perfectly holds it shape, no worries!

If you are okay with mousse like texture, then you just need refrigeration. Want firmer texture? Pop in the freezer for 30 mins just before serving. This gives you firm Ice cream like texture.

👪 Verdicts

To tell you more in detail, at first I gave Aj a slice which I used for shooting & clicking. Later one from freezer. He liked the freezer one best. In his own words, ‘This is how I like it! Firm like ice cream and just melts in your mouth once you pop inside’

Actually I made this for Vj’s Birthday as a treat for him. I know he loves biscoff like anything, so I planned this ahead. I am not at all a planner or an executer of what I plan.

But this guy deserves it, so I ordered biscuits and spread last month itself and planned for this. I first thought I will not do post as I would flop it in anxiety. But some how gathered confidence and made a video post itself.

Until I heard from himself I was not confident about this, but he told he liked it very much. I passed on to one friend, they loved it so much as well!

💭 Top tip

Since this is the first time I made cheesecake like this, I want share some notes.

  • Use good quality, full fat cream cheese.
  • Use icing sugar with corn starch as it helps in stabilizing the cheese layer.
  • Importantly, about the base we spread in the bottom. Do not press too firmly, as it could become hard while setting. Be gentle enough for setting too.
  • I also noticed this. While spreading the base, slightly rise the spread a little to make a curve with the wall of the tin.
  • To take out the cake from the base of the tin, carefully slide in a thin, broad spatula in between the crust and the baking pan’s base.
  • Use lining for best results while un molding.

🎥 Video

Is video more your thing? Watch how to make this dessert.

🍽 Serving size

This has full fat cream cheese, whipping cream, sugar, the biscoff spread everything that are high in calories. So watch out and restrict yourself with a thin slice.

But do not try to make it low fat, better to follow the recipe and make it for special occasions once in a while.

🍮 Storing

While setting the base and filling I cling wrap it. Once un-molded, you can use a cover (dome) and refrigerate/ freeze. It will be good upto 5 days in fridge or freeze in an airtight box for a month. Thaw in fridge before night for serving next day.

  • 200 gm Cream cheese
  • 200 ml Whipping cream
  • ½ cup Biscoff spread
  • ¼ cup Icing sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

Base

  • First, break the biscuits roughly and place it in a processor. Grind finely.
  • Add melt butter to it and mix thoroughly.
  • Take a 6 inch spring foam pan. Line the base with butter paper.
  • Spread the biscuit mixture and gently press it to form a base. Keep inside fridge for 30 mins.

Cheese filling

  • Meanwhile, prepare the cheese filling. Take whipping cream in a mixing bowl.
  • Start beating in low speed and gradually increase it to high. Whip until stiff peaks form. Transfer to another bowl.
  • Now place cream cheese, biscoff spread, icing sugar, vanilla in the mixing bowl and beat well to mix.
  • Once done, gently fold in the whipped cream until silky and smooth.
  • Take out the base from fridge, pour the prepared cheese filling over it. Spread evenly.
  • Keep in fridge overnight (recommended) or minimum 6 hours.

Unmolding

  • Once set, take out the pan, run a knife around the sides gently.
  • Take a heavy cup, place the pan over it. Release the clip, gently pull the pan down.
  • Now transfer the base to the cake stand or platform. Smoothen the cheese filling if needed.
  • Insert a broad spatula in between crust and pan base carefully. Gently remove it from the pan's base. Since we have lined it, it will come off easily.

For top glaze

  • In a small pan, take around 3 to 4 tbsp biscoff spread. Heat slightly to melt it.
  • Pour it over the set cheesecake. Spread evenly without disturbing the filling.
  • For the sides, you can carefully spoon few drops for a dripping effect. You can do this using piping bag for precisely doing it.

Notes

  • Please note that the topping biscuit and spread is not included in the measurements.
  • Make sure to beat the whipping cream to right stage. Neither soft peak or over beating. 
  • Whipping cream or double cream with high fat content works best for this cake.
  • There is no need for setting agents like egg, gelatin or agar agar needed. This by itself will be set perfectly.

Ulundu sadam recipe – Urad dal rice recipe

Ulundu sadam recipe a Nelai / Tirunelveli special dish made with black urad dal and rice.

Ulundu sadam recipe

Ulundu sadam recipe with step by step pictures and video. This is one of nellai special dish made with black urad dal and rice.

I was first introduced to this rice from my friend Aarthi. She often makes this rice with thogayal for lunch and whenever I heat this I wanted to try it. This is popularly called as Ulunudu soru. This combo of ulundu sadam with thogayal is one of the most comforting and healthy one that I always wanted to try. Black urad dal is very good for stengthening bones so I always make Kali atleast twice a month. This rice is very good for young girls who attain puberty

This combo is the best so don’t skip thogayal while making this rice. This rice is meant to be slightly mushy not grain seperated so water should to be added accordingly as she had mentioned. Also surprisingly idli rice is used for making of this rice not our regular ponni rice. The taste of rice dal combo with the tempering, a hint of sweetness and flavour from palm jaggery tastes best. I loved it so much and am sure to include this often.

About Ulundu Sadam Recipe:

This is one of the quickest and easiest one pot meal. To begin with first roast urad dal for few mins, set aside to cool then rinse along with rice and keep it ready. Heat oil in a pressure cooker – add the tempering items, let it splutter then add rice, dal and required water along with salt. Presusre cook for 3-4 whistles, let pressure release by itself. Then open, fluff and serve hot!

Variations:

  • You can add ginger while tempering.
  • Adding palm jaggery is optional but I would recommend adding it.
  • You can use ponni rice instead of idli rice too.
  • The ratio I used here is 1(rice):1(urad dal) but you can use 2:1 also.
  • I used aplit urad dal but you can use whole black urad dal too.
