How often have you made a sabzi or dal, ended up with leftovers, and wondered exactly what to do with them? If you are sailing in the same boat, this is just the right article for you. In most Indian households, food is prepared in a little extra quantity, ensuring nobody remains hungry.
So, if you always end up with leftovers, the best way to use them is by making a sandwich. Whether you have the sabzi, dal, or even rice in your refrigerator, add some chopped veggies and your favourite sauces and make a snack using Usha’s sandwich maker. Read on to get some ideas on how to put your leftovers to their best use.
Paneer Toastie
Sandwiches are the perfect way to handle leftover paneer-based sabzis. Whether you have paneer ki bhurji, paneer makhani, or mixed vegetables, you can simply make a sandwich filling by mixing a little mayonnaise or cheese into the sabzi. Once the mixture is ready, spread it on a slice of bread with a chopped onion and tomato to add crunch, and cover it with another bread slice. Grill it to perfection and serve.
Aloo Sandwich
Aloo kis sabzi is a staple in Indian kitchens. You can quickly whip up a sandwich if you want to use leftover jeera aloo or even boiled potatoes. All you need to do is mash the leftover sabzi and add a squeeze of lemon, some mint chutney, and mayonnaise. Next, evenly spread the filling on a bread slice, cover it with another bread, grill it and dig in.

Salad Sub
If you have some leftover chopped salad from the night before, you can quickly make a footlong sandwich for breakfast or a snack. All you need to do is get a load of bread, precut salad, meat toppings, and your favourite sauces. Next, spread your favourite sauces, such as barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, mustard sauce, chilli sauce, etc, and add the leftover salad. Finally, wait for the Usha’s sandwich maker’s light to turn green, and dig in.
Roti Pockets
Incorporating both your leftover chapatis and sabzi, roti pockets are just the perfect snack that can be whipped up in under fifteen minutes. To make the snack at home, you can simply take some leftover rotis and spread some ghee on one side. Then, flip it and add the leftover sabzi like paneer bhurji, mushroom, aloo, etc, and fold it. Transfer the roti to Usha’s sandwich maker, wait for about three minutes, and the crispy pockets will be ready to serve.
Samosa Sandwich
To turn leftover snacks like samosas, pakoras, or even bread rolls, you can stuff them into two slices of bread and make a sandwich. Don’t forget to spread a layer of chutney on a slice of bread, place the leftover samosa on top of it and press it with another bread slice. Depending on the size of the samosa, you can cut it in half before, to ensure not to overfill. Once the sandwich is grilled, serve it with a spicy haru chutney or imli ki chutney.
