Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 slices of bread white or whole wheat
  • 1/2 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup beetroot thinly sliced, optional
  • 1/4 cup carrots grated
  • 2 tablespoons green chutney
  • 2 tablespoons butter for toasting
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chaat masala optional, for a flavorful twist

Equipment

  • Butter knife
  • Cutting board
  • Griddle or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife for slicing

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing and slicing your cucumbers, tomatoes, beetroot (if using), and grating the carrots.
  2. Make the Chutney: Blend fresh coriander, green chilies, lemon juice, salt, and spices until smooth or use store-bought green chutney.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread 2 tablespoons of green chutney on two slices of bread, then evenly layer 1/2 cup mashed potatoes on one slice and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add Vegetables: Layer cucumber, tomatoes, grated carrots, and beetroot over the mashed potatoes.
  5. Top and Toast: Place a second chutney-spread slice of bread on top. Heat a griddle over medium heat, spread 1 tablespoon of butter, and toast the sandwich for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Cut and Serve: Remove from heat, cut the sandwich into halves or quarters, sprinkle chaat masala if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For a crispy texture, don’t skimp on the butter while toasting the sandwich.
