Toast Aur Green Chutney Sandwich
Bombay green-chutney sandwich toasted crisp, the tea-time staple of Irani counters. The flavours of an Indian market at dusk, built on a plate. Best consumed within minutes — the crunch is the point.
Ingredients
- Butter3 tbsp
- Saltto taste
- Onion1, finely chopped
- Green Chili1-2, finely chopped
- Mint Leaves1/4 cup
- Lemon1
- Cucumber1, diced
- Chaat Masala1 tsp
- Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

Instructions
- 1
Set out everything mise-en-place: this is assembly food, and it moves fast once you start.
- 2
Cook the base element — boil, fry or toast it — till it is exactly right; texture is the whole story here.
- 3
Layer on the wet elements — chutneys, yogurt, gravies — generously; restraint is for restaurants.
- 4
Season aggressively — street vendors' hands are heavy with masala, and yours should be too.
- 5
Finish with the mint leaves, one last pinch of masala, and serve before the crunch softens.
Chef's tip
Black salt (kala namak) is the secret edge; seek it out.
