Steps to MakeGrilled Cheese Sandwich
- First, heat water in a large bowl and add the potatoes. Boil until soft. You can also boil it in a pressure cooker.
- While the potatoes are boiling, you can make the green chutney for the sandwich.
- To make the chutney, add the coriander and mint leaves, peanuts, garlic, salt in the blender or mixer grinder and grind it until you get a nice, aromatic chutney with smooth consistency.
- Add salt and lemon juice to it. Transfer the chutney to a bowl and keep it aside.
- Once the potatoes are boiled, peel them, slice them, and arrange all the other veggies to make the sandwich.
- Lay out a few slices of bread on the table. You can cut off the edges or leave them as is.
- Apply the freshly made green chutney on one slice and butter on the other. Place the sliced potatoes at the bottom. Sprinkle a pinch of the chat masala over it.
- Place a few slices of other veggies on top of the potato and sprinkle a pinch of the masala.
- Now put shredded cheese on top of the veggies and close the sandwich with another butter-layered bread slice.
- Place the sandwich on the pre-heated sandwich maker and close it. Let it grill for a few minutes until the bread becomes crispy on both sides.
- Cut the sandwich into two halves or four pieces as you like and enjoy with a side of some mayo or tomato ketchup or both. You can also add another layer of butter and the green chutney on top if you want.
