Prepare the Mashed Potato Filling
Begin by peeling and boiling the potatoes until soft. Once boiled, mash them in a mixing bowl using a potato masher or a fork until smooth. Add finely chopped green chilies, onions, coriander leaves, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix all the ingredients together, ensuring the flavors are well combined. -
Prepare the Bread Slices
Lay out the 8 slices of whole wheat brown bread on a clean cutting board. Spread butter generously on one side of each bread slice, ensuring an even coat. This buttered side will be toasted, so it’s essential to get a nice golden finish when grilled. -
Spread the Chutneys
Now, take the buttered bread slices and spread a layer of green chutney (coriander-mint chutney) on four of the slices. On the remaining four slices, spread a layer of sweet chutney (date-tamarind chutney). The combination of these two chutneys adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor that complements the spiced mashed potatoes beautifully. -
Assemble the Sandwiches
Once the chutneys are spread, take the mashed potato mixture and evenly layer it on top of the chutney-coated bread slices. Spread the filling gently so that it covers the chutney layer fully. Afterward, sprinkle a generous pinch of chaat masala over the mashed potatoes for that signature spicy and tangy chaat flavor. -
Grill the Sandwiches
Place the bread slices without chutney on top of the assembled sandwich fillings, buttered side up. Gently press down to compact the sandwich. Grill the sandwiches in a panini press or sandwich toaster for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is warmed through. -
Serve
Serve these Chaat Masala Mashed Potato Toasted Sandwiches hot, paired with a steaming cup of Adrak Chai (ginger tea) for a delightful tea-time snack or as a quick snack anytime during the day.
Tips for the Perfect Chaat Masala Mashed Potato Toasted Sandwich
- For a richer flavor, feel free to add some grated cheese into the mashed potato filling before assembling the sandwich.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the quantity of green chilies or add a dash of red chili powder to the filling.
- You can also add finely chopped cucumber or tomato to the filling for an extra crunch and freshness.
- Use any bread of your choice, but whole wheat brown bread gives a wholesome texture and flavor to the sandwich.
