It was December of 2010.We had a late night party one Friday.
The after effect of that was I woke up at 8 am with a start, the next day, as it suddenly dawned that it was the Parent Teacher Meet at the Aaryan’s school.
Got ready in a jiffy and then woke the kid and pestered him to get ready too. In the meanwhile, lined up the work for the maids and a glass of milk for the kid and by 8.45 am, the kid and I were out of the home.
Fortunately we were very early at the school, so could meet the teacher and discuss/share all the queries and progress at length.
After finishing the meeting at school, as soon as I sat in the car in peace, my tummy gave a big loud growl. It was its way of telling that I had not even had my ‘bed’ tea and was starving!
Immediately, I called up hubby who was enjoying the highlights of some very old cricket match at home and told him to prepare something to eat for us. Now, these are the perks of having a partner who is passionate about cooking, who can create magic in the kitchen at a moment’s notice, any time. Of course, you need to excuse the mess that’s created along with the magic!
When we reached home, the first sight that hit my eyes was the beautifully laid plates for us on the dining table.
This is the Double Decker 3C Sandwich Pakora!
It is innovated by hubby!
And here’s the secret recipe for that…
Ingredients:
For Batter
· Gram Flour (Besan) : 1 cup
· Aniseed (Ajwain) : 1/2 tsp
· Cumin Seeds (Jeera) : 1/2 tsp
· Fennel Seeds (Saunf) : 1/2 tsp
· Turmeric Powder : 1/4th tsp
· Red Chilli Powder to taste
· Salt to taste
· Water
For Filling
· Cheese Spread : 3 Tbsp
· Chive (onion) : 1 finely chopped
· Chilli (green) : 2 finely chopped.
Other Ingredients
· Bread : 6 slices cut into triangles
· Oil for frying
Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients of the batter to form a batter of thick consistency.
- Whisk all the 3 Cs of the filling too.
- Apply a layer of the filling in between the 2 bread slices.
- Heat oil in a pan.
- Dip bread sandwich in the batter and fry till crisp on medium flame.
- Serve the Double Decker 3C Sandwich Pakora hot with green chutney or tomato sauce.
No points for guessing, the Double Decker 3C Sandwich Pakora tasted YUM which we gobbled up in minutes!

Wow!! I would love to be treated like that 🙂
Good going!
Come over… we will make some goodies for you too 😀
I love pakodas, in any form, of anything 🙂
Good one.
My husband is also quite thoughtful. Once I came back from office, all tired and hungry. I found a note on the fridge that poha and chai were ready.
Wow! True, these small gestures mean a lot 🙂
3WOWs, one each for the presentation, the thought and of course the effort 🙂 Lucky you!!
Thanks Reshma 🙂 Will share this with the Chef 🙂
Thanks for the recipe…bookmarked it.
Cool! Try it out and let us know about it 🙂
Lucky you Shilpa. You must be proud of your Hubby.So considerate and understanding.
Yes, I am! Touch wood 🙂
Great
Looks yumm
Even now as I am in the hall my hubby is making some thing in kitchen he is extremely passionate about kitchen but ya the mess has to be taken care of
I can strike a chord with this post 🙂
Lovely
Good morning
Aha! We are in the same boat! The happiness to see the goodies made by KG surpasses the irritation at the mess he creates. Or may be after so many years, I have learnt to let go! 🙂
Ab Kya Bolen…..I cant even light gas.
You are lucky
Your wife is lucky too 😀
While thinking about today’s prompt, this sandwich pakora (with a different stuffing though) crossed my mind too. I was reminded of such pakoras that were served in my school canteen. They were just yumm… although they were probably fried in the worst cooking oil available!
Btw, I really love how KG presents the food… have seen some other pictures too here earlier… and the presentation is just fab!
So what are you cooking today??
Oh yes, KG feels that you first eat with your eyes… so presentation is very important for him. 🙂
You lucky lucky lady.. That bread pakora looks amazing. And your husband watches old match reruns, some things don’t change.
LOL 😀 Yes, I am 🙂
Oh, dont ask about that… dont know what thrills he gets after seeing these old matches… some are really really old and he must have seen them earlier too, still he would watch them with the same fascination as if watching for the first time! 😐
Oh yum! Lucky you to have a hubby who would leave his cricket match to cook up something this gorgeous!
Yeah, he is good that way! 😀
U have a Mr. Chef at home!! Let us not get into the mess he leaves~~~
This look so good…presentation makes such a difference no?
A Chef par excellence! 😀
True, the visual sensation of a dish is as important as its flavor!! 🙂
Oooh they look yum! I’ll try making these for sure! 🙂
Great! 🙂
Looks Yummm!!
It sure was 🙂
Am definetely trying this!
Do that and let us know your feedback 🙂
Looks very tasty and easy to make.
We also make similar bread with besan, onions and green chillies but we don’t deep fry it , we make it like the patties, on a tava.
It is one of our sudden hunger recipes.
Wow… that’s nice… but the besan cooks completely on the tawa?
Yes Shilpa it cooks and becomes crisp, and crunchy. I had posted some pictures of it FB few months back.
That’s nice… that way it needs less oil too. Will try it out! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I must try this someday soon. 🙂 The best my hubby can do is make an omelette sandwich! Sigh! But the fact is, his sandwiches taste much better than mine. 🙂

That looks delicious. Thanks for the recipe, that’s so sweet of you to share the secret 😉
LOL… Chef is happy if his recipes are tasted and tried far and wide! 😀
Offfoo…how nice….I am living to see that day in my house 🙂
😀 Have faith… that time will come soon 🙂
Superb! You must be thanking your stars for having found a partner who loves cooking. 🙂 I love it when the kitchen roles are reversed! 😉
Yeah, it is a blessing to have a husband who can cook! 🙂
Wow..That mirchi is the cherry on the cake 🙂
LOL 😀 Never thought like that… but now that you mentioned it… it sure looks like that 😀
