How to make grilled sandwich

1. Boil or steam potatoes and beetroot. I skipped beets and steamed potatoes just until done. While the potatoes steam make the green chutney.

2. Cool the beets and potatoes and slice them. While they cool, you can slice the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and bell peppers.

3. We will need green chutney that is thick and has a good spreading consistency. You can find the the recipe of green chutney here. You can also use mayo or tomato sauce if you don’t prefer to make the chutney.
