Ingredients Serving: 4

1 small bunch spinach leaves chopped and washed
1 cup sweet corn kernels, boiled
1.5 tbsp butter
2 tbsp +1 tsp maida or all purpose flour
3 cloves of garlic grated (and not chopped)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (this is optional)
1/3 cup hot water
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp oregano (I used Domino's oregano- 4 packets of those) if you don't have it, use all purpose seasoning
6-8 slices of white or brown bread

Instructions

Blanch the spinach (put it in boiling water which has salt for 2-3 mins and immediately put it in cold water) Drain all water and chop the spinach.
In a hot pan add butter. Once it has melted add the maida. Keep the flame medium to low. Stir this continuously with a whisk. Please use a whisk and not a ladle.
While stirring this roux or mixture, add milk and grated garlic, salt and oregano/all purpose seasoning.
Keep stirring and add the chopped spinach and corn kernels
Now the sauce must have thickened quite a lot, add some of the hot water and continue stirring. Add the grated cheese and stir. Switch off the gas. Let this mixture cool completely.
Now spread this mixture on a slice of bread, place another slice of bread on it and toast it on a skillet or tawa by drizzling a bit of melted butter. You can also use oil but i prefer using butter.
Cut the toast into halves and serve and relish with chutney or ketchup or have it as is!
