Ingredients

2 cups yogurt
8 slices white bread
¼ cup cabbage shredded
¼ cup bell peppers finely chopped
¼ cup carrot grated
¼ cup sweet corn boiled
¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
½ teaspoon chaat masala
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

Making hung curd:

Place a muslin cloth on a sieve and place the sieve on top of a large bowl.
Pour the yogurt on the muslin cloth. Bring the edges of the cloth together.
Let it sit for 10-15 minutes so that the whey drains out. Gently squeeze out any remaining liquid from the yogurt.

Make the sandwich:

Once the yogurt thickens, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
To this add cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, boiled sweet corn, and cilantro. Also, add the chaat masala, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Divide and spread the yogurt mixture on 4 slices of bread. Top with another slice.
Trim the edges and cut the sandwich in half. Serve immediately.

Notes

Hanging the curd/yogurt is essential to achieve the desired thick and creamy consistency. Make sure to use a cheesecloth or a muslin cloth to strain the curd. Allow it to hang for around 10-15 minutes or until most of the liquid (whey) has drained away. Alternatively, you can also use Greek yogurt for this hung curd sandwich recipe.

When adding vegetables to the yogurt filling, ensure they are finely chopped or grated. Remove excess moisture from vegetables like cucumbers or tomatoes to prevent the curd sandwich from becoming watery.

A yogurt sandwich is best enjoyed when fresh or within a few hours of preparation. Prepare them just before serving to maintain the freshness and prevent the bread from becoming soggy. If you need to prepare in advance, consider keeping the filling separate and assembling the dahi sandwich right before serving.
