Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Carrot finely chopped or, grated
- 1/4 cup Bell Peppers finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Cabbage finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Onions chopped, green
- 2.5 tbsp Mayonnaise eggless
- 2 tbsp Butter at room temperature softened
- 1/2 tsp Peppers black
- 1/4 tsp Pepper crushed, red
- 1/4 tsp Salt or as per taste
Instructions
- Finely chop the vegetables or grate them. You can use a food processor to chop them (quick and fast method).
- Transfer the chopped vegetables into a bowl
- Stir in the mayonnaise, black pepper powder and crushed red pepper. Mix gently and keep aside.
- Trim crusts from the bread slices (do not waste these; you can use the crusts for making bread crumbs later). Try to make the slices as equal in size as possible
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice gently.
- Place them such that they are overlapping each other in a single row.
- Wet the edges of the sides overlapping and seal the edges to join them by pressing them together.
- Gently spread butter over the slices evenly.
- Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours or even overnight.
- Just before serving, remove plastic wrap and slice the rolls with a sharp knife.
- Serve scrumptious vegetable mayonnaise pinwheel sandwiches with your evening tea, at parties or even in your kidsTM lunch box.
Recipe Notes
Always use fresh bread (no more than 1 day old) to make easy rolling without finding yourself with cracked and shredded bread sandwiches!!!
Additional Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor and a subtle heat, spread a thin layer of green chutney or mint-coriander chutney on the bread before adding the vegetable filling.
- To keep the pinwheels from becoming soggy, pat dry the grated vegetables with paper towels before mixing them with mayonnaise and butter.
- If you want to make these vegan, substitute the mayonnaise and butter with plant-based versions or use hung curd (strained yogurt) for a tangier, creamy spread.
- For best results when slicing, tightly roll the bread with the filling, wrap the roll in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes before cutting; this helps the pinwheels hold their shape and gives cleaner edges.
