Curry Egg Mayo, Watercress & Poppadom Sarnie
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 2 hard-boiled eggs – £0.20×2
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise – £0.2
- 5g fresh coriander – £0.06
- 1 tbsp curry powder – £0.1
- 1 tomato – £0.2
- ½ cucumber – £0.4
- 3 tbsp mango chutney – £0.15
- ½ tsp nigella seeds – £0.1
- 25g watercress – £0.15
- ‘Lime and coriander’ poppadom crisps – £0.5
- 4 slices of bread – £0.37
Method (15 mins)
Step 1: Pick the coriander leaves and set aside for garnish. Finely chop the stalks and throw them into a bowl with the mayonnaise and curry powder. Mix thoroughly
Step 2: Peel and roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs, then add to the curried mayonnaise. Use the back of a fork to mash the eggs into smaller pieces and mix into the sauce — this is your coronation egg mayo
Step 3: Finely slice the cucumber and tomato. Grill your bread on one side to stop it getting soggy
Step 4: Build your sandwich. Start with 1 slice of bread, toasted side up. Spread with a layer of mango chutney then top with sliced tomato, cucumber, watercress and your coriander leaves. Dollop over the coronation egg mayo and sprinkle with nigella seeds. Add a large handful of crisps then finish with the second slice of bread, toasted side down
Want it vegan? Replace the egg-mayo with this chickpea filling. And if you’re feeling really fancy, use naan instead of bread. Just heat the naan in the oven for a couple of minutes until warmed through, then top with the same fillings.
