Mumbai style Chilli Cheese Sandwich recipe - This is stuffed with cheesy mixture and grilled or toasted till crisp. PERFECT and DELICIOUS sandwich that everyone will sure love it. The cheesy mixture is made from of course grated cheese with addition of chilies, capsicum and onion.
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.
How to make Chilli Cheese Sandwich?
1) Take half of the cheese (¼ cup of grated cheese) in a bowl.
2) Add chopped capsicum, onion, green chili and coriander leaves.
3) Add salt, pepper and chilli flakes

7) On one slice, spread the cheese, capsicum mixture.
8) On top sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheese.
9) Close it with another slice of bread.

What cheese do you recommend to use?
Kanan Patel
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.
