Ingredients

• 8 slices White or whole wheat bread slices
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup (packed) Cilantro

• 1 small Green chili
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the green chutney: In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, mint leaves, green chili, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. Add a small amount of water if needed to assist blending. Set aside.

Step 2

Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter onto one side of each bread slice.

Step 3

On half of the buttered slices, spread a generous layer of green chutney over the butter.

Step 4

Layer the cucumber and tomato slices over the chutney layer. Sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala evenly over the vegetables for added flavor.

Step 5

Place the remaining buttered bread slices on top to form sandwiches, buttered side facing down.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a clean, classic look (optional).

Step 7

Cut each sandwich into triangles or rectangles, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until serving.
