Ingredients
- 3 medium Boiled potatoes
- 0.5 cup Green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium Chopped onion
- 1 Chopped green chili
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 8 slices White or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Butter (for toasting)
- 4 tablespoons Green chutney
- 4 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
- 1 small Sliced cucumber
- 1 large Sliced tomato
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 0.5 cup Grated mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
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. Sauté 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.
