About Chutney Sandwich

This Chutney Sandwich is a preparation that is definitely a family favorite. The recipe is from one of my mother’s friends who would regularly make these amazing sandwiches slathered with this special coconuty green chutney in them. I’m glad she passed on her recipe to my mom, and she to me.

Fresh coriander leaves and coconut are the star ingredients in the no onion, no garlic chutney recipe used for this Chutney Sandwich. It is not that spicy too.

Thus, even the sandwiches are super low on heat and a good choice for kids too. I also add some sugar to the chutney, which gives it a slight sweet taste and balances the spice from the green chili.

This coriander-coconut chutney added to the sandwiches also goes well with Onion Pakoda, Khaman Dhokla, Khandvi and Aloo Tikki. For this Chutney Sandwich recipe, you can use any bread of your choice like whole wheat, white or brown.

Once the chutney is ready, you just need to spread butter on the bread slices, top with a generous slather of the prepared chutney, make them into sandwiches, cut into pieces and just enjoy. It is really as simple as that. Best served plain or even with tea of coffee.

Step-by-Step Guide

Make Chutney Sandwich

5. Spread butter evenly on bread slices. If packing the sandwiches for tiffin box or picnics, spread a generous amount of butter, so that the bread does not become soggy.

If you want, you can slice the edges. Since I was using homemade white bread, the edges were soft and not stiff like the store brought bread. Hence, I did not slice the edges.

You can opt to spread the bread with either salted butter or unsalted butter.

6. Now, spread the prepared chutney on the slices.

7. Usually, I spread the chutney on both slices. But if you want, you can spread the chutney on only one slice.

Expert Tips

  1. If you want to make spicier sandwiches, then increase the number of green chilies in the chutney.
  2. Fresh grated coconut gives the best flavor in the chutney. In case you don’t have it, you can add desiccated coconut too.
  3. Use either white bread, brown bread or whole wheat bread to make these sandwiches. The choice is completely yours. You can remove the edges of the bread slices too while making the sandwiches.
  4. If you want to pack these sandwiches in tiffin or for picnics, then spread a generous quantity of butter on bread slices. This will prevent the bread from turning dry.
  5. You can easily double or triple this recipe.
