Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White or whole wheat bread slices
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (packed) Cilantro
- 0.5 cup (packed) Mint leaves
- 1 small Green chili
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
Instructions
Prepare the green chutney: In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, mint leaves, green chili, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. Add a small amount of water if needed to assist blending. Set aside.
Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter onto one side of each bread slice.
On half of the buttered slices, spread a generous layer of green chutney over the butter.
Layer the cucumber and tomato slices over the chutney layer. Sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala evenly over the vegetables for added flavor.
Place the remaining buttered bread slices on top to form sandwiches, buttered side facing down.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a clean, classic look (optional).
Cut each sandwich into triangles or rectangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until serving.
