    This is the mumbai street food style sandwich. Here the spread of chutney tastes too good with cheesy, gooey, slightly spicy mixture.

    Here I have used the grill pan but you can use the sandwich maker with grill attachment or you can toast the sandwich similar to this veg masala toast sandwich.

    There is one similar recipe on the blog and it is Chilli cheese toast recipe. That is the open toast works best as a breakfast.

        Here I have used yellow cheddar cheese.
        It depends on personal preference but for this kind of sandwiches cheddar, Gouda, Monterey jack or American cheese works good.
