Chutney Grilled Cheese Sandwich pairs buttery, golden bread with a vivid coriander chutney, sliced cheese, and grated mozzarella. Ginger, garlic, green chilies, lemon, and chaat masala give the creamy melted center fresh, spicy, and tangy contrast.
The recipe makes exactly 2 sandwiches in 20 minutes, using 5 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes of cooking. A medium-low pan is important: it gives the cheese time to melt while the buttered bread browns gradually instead of scorching.
Chutney Grilled Cheese Ingredients
For the chutney, gather 2 cups coriander leaves, 6 garlic cloves, a 1-inch piece of ginger, 2 large green chilies, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon chaat masala, salt to taste, 2 ice cubes, 1 bread slice, and water only as needed.
For the sandwiches, use 4 bread slices, 2 cheese slices, butter as needed, the prepared chutney, and grated mozzarella as needed. The single bread slice listed with the chutney is blended into it; it is separate from the four slices used to assemble the two sandwiches.
