Chutney Sandwich Recipe- Indian Style

A chutney sandwich is a simple yet delicious cold sandwich full of tangy, sweet, spicy flavors from the two chutneys used to make it- Green Cilantro-Mint Chutney and Tomato Ketchup. With just 3 main ingredients, this recipe is a perfect appetizer for any day.

Inspired by the Bombay Sandwich of India, this recipe of chutney sandwich, also called Tiranga Sandwich has 3 colors- One from Butter white/ mild cream, Orange from Tomato Chutney or Ketchup, and Green from Coriander chutney, just like the tricolors of the Indian flag.

These amazing sandwiches are a burst of flavors and a mild twist to the Bombay Veg sandwich as I have not included any veggies and just the layers of different chutneys along with butter. Feel free to add fresh veggies as a layer.

A no-cook recipe that can be made ahead of time, this Indian vegetarian sandwich is my favorite lunch-box recipe for my daughter. Use my homemade tomato ketchup for the best flavor.

Team it with Masala Chai on a rainy day for a perfect appetizer!

Ingredients

You may procure the chutneys from Indian stores or find the recipe link for homemade green chutney.

• Fresh Bread Slices- You may use white bread or wholegrain breads. I have used the local brand of Harvest Atta Bread.
• Cilantro Mint Chutney- Green chutney is the star ingredient. Find the green chutney recipe. Make the chutney in advance. The consistency of the chutney should be thick and not runny so that it can be spread easily. 
• ​Tomato Ketchup- Find my homemade Tomato ketchup recipe.
• Butter- Any local brand works well. I have used a generous amount of butter for the best taste. Make sure to keep butter at room temperature to spread it easily.

You may use cheese or cream cheese to make it a cheese sandwich. Although, I recommend making one without cheese to enjoy the real flavor of chutneys.

​How To Make Chutney Sandwich

Step 1. Assemble all the ingredients

Gather bread slices, your choice of chutney 

If you want to add fresh veggies- cucumber slices, tomato, onion, mashed potato, or paneer, and seasonings like chaat masala, cumin powder, kala namak, or black pepper.

Step 2. Apply Butter and Chutney

Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface and spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.

Spread a generous layer of the green chutney on the second slice of bread. Place it on the top of the first slice to make a pair. On the top of this pair, apply tomato ketchup. Place another slice that has butter, and put it over this pair. It makes a tri-slice sandwich or Tiranga sandwich.

Step 3. Cut and serve

Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwiches diagonally or into desired shapes. Arrange them on a plate and serve immediately as a snack or light meal. Enjoy your delicious chutney sandwiches!

Expert Tips

• Make sure that the butter is at room temperature and soft enough to be easily spread.
• If making in winter, take out the butter from refrigerator a night before. In summers, 2-3 hrs before making it is sufficient.
• Store the leftovers in an airtight container with lid at room temperature (consume same day) or in the refrigerator for about 2 days.
