Jihvā for Ingredients (JFI) is an online monthly food event, celebrating the Ingredients and what they can do for our Jihvā. This is the brainchild of Indira of Mahanandi. This month JFI celebrates the goodness of Bananas at Mandira’s Ahaar. These are some of my favourite ways (other than just eating plain bananas) to use Ripe Bananas; very simple recipes yet very close to my heart and palette. These Banana recipes are being sent to Mandira. Thank you Mandira for hosting this month’s JFI-Banana.

Monsoon Magic- Butterfly Sandwich

Enjoy this hot grilled Butterfly sandwich with a cup of tea in the wet cozy rainy weather!

The end result though depends on 3 Ps- Preparation, Patience and Practice. I learnt to make them from my Grandmother….
