To serve:
Ketchup
Method:
- Begin by making the chutney. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until fully combined. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside
- To make the masala mix, simply add all the ingredients to a large bowl and stir until evenly combined
- Rub one side of each piece of bread with the cut side of the garlic. Butter both sides of bread and spread over a generous layer of chutney
- Layer with the cucumber, then sprinkle over the masala mix. Repeat this process with a layer of tomato, then cheese, then onion
- Top with the other slice of bread. Either toast the sandwich in a sandwich toaster, or fry in a heavy-based pan with something heavy on top (like another pan) until golden on each side. Serve with ketchup
- I used wholemeal bread, brown onion, dried herbs, and a bird's eye chilli. I didn't have any amchur powder or cucumber, so I left them out.
- Be warned, with all that butter on the outside of the bread, it is a bit messy, but don't omit the butter - it crisps the bread up and gives it a good colour. Have tissues to hand!
- I found it was better toasted in a sandwich toaster rather than a frying pan.
