Indian Basil Pesto Sandwich

As I looked for basil all over the market, coz my regular vegetable grocer was out of them and I had to make this black olive pesto sandwich for breakfast, I couldn't find any,, tired of looking for it everywhere...I got my head scratching and plucked some fresh Indian basil (tulsi) from my own plant at home,,,, and walla!!! I had discovered a tastier version of my usual olive basil pesto recipe. 

I think😀I will never look for basil anywhere else but I will use my own fresh Indian tulsi,,, It's a must try,,,, delish! Fresh and very healthy protein sandwich.
