These days, sandwich is a very common ANYTIME food item across the world.This recipe below is a perfect Indian version of a sandwich which is generally seen as a street food in India. In this recipe, we use the Green Chutney as the sandwich spread and potato filling as the stuffing.

Just try this Spicy version of a sandwich with the infusion of Indian Masala. I make these sandwiches not only for snack but also for my kids lunch boxes. They just love them with the tomato sauce.

The same recipe can be done over a tawa/pan on stovetop if you do not have a sandwich maker.

Before starting to cook this recipe , see the Tips which I mentioned at the end.
