Grilled Sandwich

Pizza sandwich is a dish that I have been having since high school! It started as a change, a different flavoured grilled cheese sandwich. We used to order pizza’s from places like Pizza Hut and Pizza Corner and Dominoes back then, weekends especially, we had a lot of seasoning remaining. So my mum got inventive and made a simple onion, tomato and capsicum the best grilled cheese sandwich and so tasty! Pizza seasoning wasn’t easily available back then and all of us kids always wanted something exotic! The taste has changed but it is still awesome as ever, it is a mean sandwich as Anirudh my husband puts it.
