2 tsp mustard (rai / sarson) paste
12 cheese cubes
butter for brushing

For The Filling
1 cup diagonally cut zucchini (unpeeled)
1 cup capsicum strips (red , yellow and green)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp grated garlic (lehsun)
salt to taste
2 tsp dry red chilli flakes (paprika)
1 tsp dried mixed herbs

Method

For the filling

Heat the olive oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the coloured capsicum, zucchini, garlic and salt and sauté on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the chilli flakes and mixed herbs and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep aside to cool slightly.
Divide the filling into 4 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

Cut a hot dog roll horizontally into 2 equal halves.
Place both the hot dog roll halves on a clean, dry surface. Apply ¼ tsp of mustard paste on each of the halves.
Spread 1 portion of the prepared filling evenly on the lower half of the hot dog roll. Arrange 3 cheese cubes evenly over it and sandwich it with the upper half of the hot dog roll with the mustard paste side facing downwards.
Brush some butter on top of the hot dog roll and grill in a greased pre-heated sandwich griller for 5 to 7 minutes or till it turns brown and crisp from both the sides.
Cut the sandwich diagonally into 2 equal pieces.
Repeat steps 1 to 5 to make 3 more sandwiches.
Serve immediately with tomato ketchup.
