Ingredients (Serves 2)
· 4 slices of brown or whole wheat bread
· 1 small onion, finely chopped
· 1 small tomato, finely chopped
· 1 small capsicum (bell pepper), finely chopped
· 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
· 2 tbsp grated carrot
· 2 tbsp green chutney (coriander-mint)
· 2 tbsp butter or olive oil for grilling
· salt and pepper to taste
· Optional: 1–2 slices cheese
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Prep the Veggies:
Wash and chop all vegetables. Keep them small so they fit nicely inside the sandwich.
2. Spread Chutney:
Apply green chutney evenly on one side of each bread slice. This adds flavor and moisture.
3. Assemble the Sandwich:
Layer onion, tomato, capsicum, cucumber, carrot, and optional cheese on two slices of bread. Top with the other slices to form sandwiches.
4. Grill:
Heat a sandwich maker, pan, or grill. Spread butter or brush lightly with olive oil. Grill each sandwich until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway for even grilling.
5. Serve Hot:
Cut diagonally and serve with tomato ketchup or extra green chutney.
