You will love this…

It was from niece I heard about this sandwich. Basically I love vegetable sandwiches so thought trying this.

For the green chutney you need,

coriander leaves, chopped – 1 cup
mint leaves – 1/ 4 cup
ginger – 1/2 inch
green chili – 1
salt/black salt

To prepare the green chutney you have to

Grind the ingredients for the green chutney with little water to a smooth paste.

This goes best with samosas, and chicken biriyani (One of my friend M,she used to get biriyani and mint coriander chutney which her mom prepares. It is absolute yum)

For the potato filling:

Mashed potatoes – 2 cup
Onion – 1/2 portion of a medium size. chopped finely

Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Asafoetida(hing) a pinch
Red chili powder – 1/4 tsp
Oil – 1 teaspoon

To prepare the filling you have to,

Heat some oil in a pan.
Add mustard seeds. Let them pop up.
Add cumin seeds and then add onions, green chilli.
Fry the onions till translucent.
Add the tomatoes. Once it turns soft and cooked, add the dry spices(red chili powder, asafoetida and turmeric)
Saute well to blend the masala and the mashed potatoes well.
Add salt to taste and mix the stuffing well.
Add coriander leaves.

Allow to cool down a bit before using for assembling.

For assembling the sandwiches you need

Onions, tomatoes, capsicum thin slices (optional)

Apply butter evenly on the bread/bun ( 1 slice a very thin layer and keep it as it is. It will melt while grilling )
Now apply the green chutney on the bread.
Take the potato mixture and apply it on this bread.
Keep onion, tomato and capsicum rings on top.
Sprinkle chat masala
Now cover this with another slice of bread
Toast or grill the sandwich till browned from both sides.
Now this is just optional. For those who are not diet conscious apply some butter on top of the hot sandwich.
