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.
