Potato Salad Sandwich

My husband came home one day and told me how wonderful potato salad he had for lunch. He insisted that I should try this recipe and prepared one for me(Lucky Me :) I just loved it.
We used curry powder in the salad and that made huge difference.Curry powder is a blend of Coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, black pepper, bay leaves, celery seeds, nutmeg, cloves, onion, red pepper and ginger.Powder all of these ingredients. It gives nice earthy,spicy taste to your dish.
We were going out for a short road-trip and we remixed the recipe to make it more flavorful and to be a picnic item.It can be a picnic or lunch box or even a ladies party or play date item. Here is the Potato Salad Sandwich....

Ingredients-
  • 2 boiled potatoes
  • 3 tablespoon finely chopped onion(red onion gives more flavor)
  • 1/2 cup halved red or green grapes (Use golden raisins if you don't have grapes)
  • one small apple
  • 5-6 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • salt
  • 6 sandwich bread slices
Method-
  1. Cut the boiled potatoes into small around 1/8 inch size pieces.(Chicken can be used instead of potatoes and you can prepare chicken salad or curry)
  2. Put potato pieces,red onion,grapes into a bowl.
  3. Cut an apple into small pieces and add mayonnaise,curry powder, salt to a bowl and toss with the other ingredients. (First add 1/2 teaspoon curry powder and taste the mixture as little of it goes long way) (Add another 1 or 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise depending on size of potatoes)
  4. Toast the bread slices to a light golden color and let it cool for a minute and the put the salad stuffing on one slice and put second slice on top.
  5. Apple and onion gives nice crunch and grapes gives nice juicy bite to this dish.

Tip- For picnic wrap the sandwiches in plastic or parchment paper.
