Little Miss Muffet's curd sandwich!

The night before
Put two to three tablespoons of curd in a tea strainer,
place the strainer on a bowl and keep in fridge.
The water in the curd will drip away and
give you a thick, creamy spread in the morning!

The next morning
1/2 to 1 onion - chop finely
1 small tomato - deseed and chop finely
1 tsp sugar
a dash of balsamic vinegar or apple cider or plain vinegar
1 tsp of tomato chilly sauce
salt to taste
Mix all of the above with the curd to get a nice, smooth paste.

Toast 2 slices of bread.
Take 2 lettuce leaves

Place lettuce leaf on top of slice, spoon the curd mixture and spread evenly.
top with another lettuce leaf and then place close with the second slice.


*The lettuce prevents the sandwich from getting soggy, plus this is a great alternative if you feel your kid is eating way too much cheese:)
