Making the Green Chutney

A good sandwich always begins with a **flavorful spread**. Let’s prepare the green chutney first, which adds an authentic touch to your sandwich.

1. In a blender, combine:
– 3 green chilies
– 1 clove garlic
– A small piece of ginger
– A handful of mint leaves
– A handful of coriander leaves
– 2 tbsp shredded coconut
– Juice of 1 lime
– Salt to taste

2. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to reach your desired consistency.

3. Store the chutney in an airtight container; it can be refrigerated for up to a month.

Preparing the Potato Filling

Now let’s move on to the **potato stuffing**, which is the heart of our sandwich.

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan.
2. Add a pinch of Hing and wait for it to release its aroma.
3. Once aromatic, add 0.5 tsp mustard seeds and let them splutter.
4. Incorporate the finely chopped green chilies, ginger, and onions. Sauté until the onions are golden and soft.
5. Season with a pinch of salt and stir in 0.5 tsp turmeric powder.
6. Now, add the boiled and mashed potatoes along with the chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Your flavorful potato filling is now ready!

Assembling the Toasted Cheese Sandwich

With the chutney and filling prepared, it’s time to assemble your sandwich.

1. Take two slices of whole wheat or white bread and **spread butter generously** on one side of each slice.

2. On the non-buttered side, spread a generous amount of your homemade green chutney.

3. Spoon a portion of the potato filling onto one slice, spreading it evenly. If desired, you can add extra chopped onions or even some more spices to enhance flavor.

4. Top the filling with **slices of cheese** (mozzarella works wonderfully, but feel free to use cheddar or any cheese you prefer).

5. Cover with the second slice of bread, chutney side down, and press gently.

1. Preheat your toaster or a grilling pan.

2. Spread a little butter on the outside of the assembled sandwich, ensuring a crispy finish.
