How to make the recipe
Preparation
- Making chutney (optional) - To a blender jar, add coriander leaves, fried gram, cumin, green chilies, garlic cloves, lemon juice, chaat masala and salt. Blend well adding water minimally. I add about 2 tablespoons.
- Do not add too much water as we do not want a runny chutney. It has to be thick and smooth. Taste the chutney and add more salt & chili if required.
- Prepare veggies - Pour 1 ½ cups water in a pressure cooker or pot. Place a rack and keep the potatoes over the rack. Pressure cook for 2 whistles or in the instant pot for 10 mins. When the pressure drops, open the lid. Cool, peel and slice the potatoes.
- If you want to use beetroot, pressure cook the same way or in a pot.
- Slice the remaining veggies - cucumber, onions, tomatoes & bell peppers.
How to Make Veg Grilled Sandwich
- Butter each slice of bread on both the sides. Spread the green chutney as needed.
- Place the veggies - potatoes, onions, beets, tomatoes, cucumber and then capsicum. Sprinkle a generous amount of chaat masala and cumin powder.
- Optionally if you want you may add grated cheese or cheese slice. Cover with another slice of buttered & chutney smeared bread.
- Place them in a hand held or electric griller and grill the sandwiches until golden. You can also grill them on a grill pan, pressing down with a spatula until golden & crisp.
- Slice the veg grilled sandwich to halves and serve.
