A grilled cilantro chutney sandwich in India is the equivalent of the American panini with pesto. Green chutney is a condiment very much like a pesto but made with cilantro (coriander leaves) or mint. There are a lot of different versions of green chutney and almost every house makes it differently.
If you already have green chutney in your refrigerator, it hardly takes any time to make this sandwich. It’s super-fast and easy. Chutney Sandwiches (chutney +bread) can be made in so many different ways and can be served hot or cold, but I personally prefer my sandwiches grilled and Sourdough bread is perfect for it.
The Bombay grilled sandwich is a delicious version with a wide variety of vegetables which enhances flavor. Often in the mix of vegetables you’ll see a spread of green chutney, butter and then layered with thinly sliced potatoes, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, topped with grated cheese and grilled to crispy perfection in a panini maker.
Perfect for a quick lunch or a snack!!
