Perfect for a quick snack, easy lunch, or light dinner, these vegetarian sandwiches are as versatile as they are satisfying. Serve them golden brown and melty with extra dips for a crowd-pleasing treat thatβs ready in under 40 minutes.
Mash the boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.
Add chopped onion and green chili. SautΓ© until the onion becomes translucent.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well, then add the green peas and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and mix thoroughly to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes. Add chopped cilantro and remove from heat.
Let the potato mixture cool slightly while preparing the bread slices.
Spread green chutney on one side of 4 slices of bread and tomato ketchup on one side of the remaining 4 slices.
Place a layer of the prepared potato filling on the chutney side of the bread slices and spread evenly.
Top the potato filling with cucumber slices, tomato slices, a sprinkle of chaat masala, and optional grated cheese if desired.
Cover each sandwich with a ketchup-spread slice of bread, pressing lightly.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich and place it on the griddle.
Toast each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Press the sandwich gently with a spatula for even toasting.
Remove from the griddle, slice each sandwich diagonally, and serve hot with extra green chutney and ketchup on the side.
