I am posting a vegetarian recipe after a long, long time. I really suck big time at vegetarian dishes. But i was so happy with the results after making this spicy, tangy, sweet, cheesy vegetable grilled sandwich, that i couldn’t stop myself from posting it. Its too good.
My sister, for whom the title of “sandwich queen” suits soo well had made this sandwich for me two months back. I was so very impressed with the taste that i had noted down the recipe from her the same day itself. But i was hesitant to make it at home because my husband is not a lover of vegetarian dishes much either. But then i finally made it yesterday, keeping my fingers crossed and yaaaay!! he loved it. 🙂
This sandwich includes a spicy green coriander chutney and a tangy tamarind chutney, along with chilli mayo, sliced cheese, nandos sauce and veggies like cucumber, tomato, lettuce, capsicum and spicy fried potatoes. A good amount of chutney brings a lot of flavors to the sandwich. Then you just have to grill it on a grill pan, or in a panini press and there you have it, a super delicious sandwich.
This can also be made for Iftar if you are tired of eating oily, fried food. Do try it and hope you all will like it. Enjoy!

It sounds really good! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find tamarind here. Been looking for it for ages. D:
Oh thats bad!! But if you want to make tamarind chutney without the tamarind, here is a good substitute recipe: http://youtu.be/qANeGG4hHdI just check put this video. I never tried making it with this method but I’m sure you it will be very good from the look of it.
This sounds and looks absolutely amazing!
Thanks Jessica! 🙂
I am so in love with your sandwich! I think it is your deep, flavorful chutneys that make it outstanding. So much love and effort in this delicious dish, Sadia. Oh, and I love the idea of cheese with chutney… a gourmet grilled cheese!
Thanks a lot Shanna! Do try this some time. 🙂
I will, but will probably have to purchase some chutneys! Mine could never live up to yours! 🙂
Noo. Nuthin like dat. Im sure u can make great tasting chutneys. 🙂
