Want something quick and tasty to nibble on? Make some chutney sandwiches!
There are so many ways you can have them ... as a mid-morning snack at work, with a hot cup of tea in front of the television (my favorite) or just when the mood grabs you, wherever and whenever. Honestly, they're so easily assembled that I don't have to think twice about making them. I've even put some in my kids' lunch bags occasionally and they haven't complained. They've actually rather liked them and helped me make them as well. And the good thing is that when you've made one batch of chutney, it lasts a few days in the fridge. So you don't have to make it fresh every time you want to have these beauties.
How to make these chutney sandwiches
- Make the green chutney
- Boil potatoes and cut into slices
- Spread some butter on a bread slice and layer with potato slices. Sprinkle salt and pepper on it.
- Spread the green chutney on another bread slice and place it on the first slice. Slice off the edges of the sandwich if you want to and cut the sandwiches in half.
That's it! That's how simple it is. A fuss-free, healthy sandwich is ready in a few simple steps.
Sandwich chutney recipe
Making the green chutney for sandwich is a matter of throwing a few ingredients in a blender and blending for a couple of minutes to get a puree. Here are the ingredients you put in the blender -
- a bunch of cilantro
- half a bunch mint leaves
- one small tomato
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 green chilli
- salt
This is a very versatile and tasty dip. You can have it with so many Indian snacks and appetizers like paneer fingers (cottage cheese fingers), chicken malai tikka (grilled pieces of boneless chicken in a delicious marinade) and even main dishes like matar pulao, a vibrant rice dish with fresh garden peas.
Variations
The cilantro-mint chutney is what gives these sandwiches their unique look and taste, but you can experiment with the other ingredients.
Sometimes I've tried other combos with the chutney like shredded cheese, tomatoes, lettuce or a giant all-in-one sandwich that has a little bit of everything! A little cheddar right on top of the potatoes tastes especially good if you are partial to cheese. Here's a really good cheese and vegetables sandwich from Delighted Baking you might want to try, if you want a different version. However, if you want to keep it simple and fuss-free, the potatoes do taste great by themselves.
