I call it “sandwich”, grilled or toasted, it does not matter. It is pretty weird to eat raw bread (no offense to people who eat them without warming it on a pan). And if you’re using just butter and cheese, you’re missing out a lot.

Here’s my mom’s vegetarian sandwich recipe. Remove cheese and butter and it will be vegan.

Ingredients:

• Bread

• Potato

• Capsicum

• Beetroot

• Tomatoes

• Cucumber

• Chaat masala

• Cheese slices

• Butter (not really needed)

• For the chutney

  • Pudina mint
  • Coriander leaves
  • Garlic
  • Tamarind paste
  • Ground nuts (or other substitute if you’re allergic)
  • Green chillies x2
  • Coconut shavings
  • Sugar
  • Salt

Steps:

• Make some pudina-peanut chutney by tossing in all the ingredients
• Boil potato (under a pressure cooker or a normal utensil), let it cool and remove the skin
• Slice four thin slices of tomatoes, capsicum, cucumber, softened potatoes and beetroots
• Get some chaat masala from a South-Asian grocery, and add them to your potato slices
• Spread the chutney in the bottom bread of your sandwich
• Slap in rest of the ingredients, followed by cheese
• Low-heat toast the bread (we don’t use butter, but you may choose to)
• Enjoy

Two sandwiches will fill your tummy real good for the rest of the day. Only issue is that some prep is required.
