Chocolate Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices whole wheat bread or multi grain bread or brown bread or white bread
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons choco chips or chopped chocolate – can add as required
  • ½ tablespoon chopped cashews
  • ½ tablespoon chopped pistachios
  • ½ tablespoon chopped raisins
  • 3 pinches cinnamon powder – or as required, optional
  • butter as required

Instructions:

1. First chop some dry fruits. I have used cashews, pistachios and raisins. If you prefer, you can add nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans, pinenuts etc. Instead of raisins you can dried apricot.

These nuts give a nice crunch in the gooey melted chocolate inside the sandwiches.

chopped dry fruits in a bowl

2. Take the bread slices. Slice the edges if you want. Spread some softened butter on each slice. You can use salted or unsalted butter.

Wheat bread, multigrain bread or Brown bread or White bread or Sandwich bread are all great options to make these sandwiches. But just ensure that your bread has a soft and light crumb. You can also use 1 to 2 day old bread that has been refrigerated.

applying butter on bread slices

3. Now place the choco chips evenly on the bread slices. Keep in mind not to add too much as then the chocolate melts and oozes out of the bread while grilling and toasting.

Instead of choco chips, you can use any type of baking or cooking chocolate like sweet or semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate.

Depending upon the size of the bread add the required amount of chocolate chips. Here I have used smaller-sized bread.

chocolate chips placed on buttered bread slices

4. Sprinkle the chopped dry fruits on top. You can also add slices of fruits like apples, pears or bananas as a topping on the sandwiches.

dry fruits added

5. Sprinkle a light pinch of ground cinnamon powder. This step can be skipped. You can even use cardamom powder.

ground cinnamon powder added

6. Now cover with the remaining buttered slices.

7. Place the sandwich in a preheated sandwich toaster or grill or a panini press.

8. Grill or toast till the bread becomes crispy and browned. Serve chocolate sandwich hot or warm as it is or with a side of chocolate sauce to dip your sandwiches in it – for an overload of chocolate deliciousness.

You can sprinkle some confectioners sugar or powdered sugar from the top if you want.

Enjoy them hot or warm while the chocolate is still gooey and melted. On cooling, the chocolate will condense and solidify. The toasted bread texture will also soften and will become less crispy with time.

Sandwich Recipe (Bombay Veg Sandwich)

Ingredients:

For Veg Sandwich

  • 10 slices white bread or whole wheat, brown bread or any soft bread
  • 2 potatoes – small to medium-sized, boiled and sliced into rounds
  • 1 beetroot – medium sized, boiled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber – thinly sliced
  • 1 small to medium onion – thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato – thinly sliced
  • Butter softened and at room temperature, salted or unsalted, as required
  • chaat masala as required
  • black salt as required
  • roasted cumin powder as required – optional
  • freshly ground black pepper – optional
  • tomato ketchup or sauce to be served with the sandwiches

For Making Coriander Chutney

  • 1 cup tightly packed coriander leaves (cilantro) Or ½ cup coriander leaves and ½ cup mint leaves
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon chaat masala powder or add as required
  • 1 to 2 green chilies you can also add 2 to 3 green chilies
  • salt or black salt as per taste
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons water for blending or grinding, optional

Instructions:

Prepare Coriander Chutney

1. Rinse 1 cup of tightly packed coriander leaves (cilantro) and 1 to 2 green chillies in fresh water for a few times. Drain all the water.

Then in a small blender or a chutney grinder jar, add the coriander leaves, ½ teaspoon chaat masala powder and the green chilies (chopped).

You can roughly chop the coriander leaves and green chillies if you prefer. Finally, season everything with a few pinches of salt as chaat masala already has salt in it.

TIP 1: I usually add 2 to 3 green chilies as we prefer a spicy chutney.

TIP 2: You can also add half a portion each of coriander leaves and mint leaves instead of 1 cup of coriander. The mint leaves add a nice minty aroma to the chutney.

making coriander chutney for veggie sandwich in a grinder jar

2. Blend or grind the chutney ingredients until smooth. Add 1 or 2 teaspoon of water if it is not blending. I did not add water as there was enough moisture from the rinsed coriander leaves which helped the chutney to blend smoothly.

Don’t make this chutney runny or water by adding too much of water.

grinded coriander chutney

3. Add the coriander chutney to a bowl, taste it and add more salt if necessary. Cover and keep the chutney aside if you are making sandwiches immediately or refrigerate.

coriander chutney for Bombay sandwich in a bowl

Preparing Vegetables

1. Steam or boil 1 medium-sized beetroot and 2 small to medium potatoes in a steamer or pressure cooker or Instant pot. If you are using a pressure cooker then cook them for 2 to 3 whistles.

beetroot and potatoes in a steamer for Bombay sandwich recipe

2. Thinly slice 1 medium sized tomato, 1 small or medium sized onion and 1 medium size cucumber.

TIP: Some times you may get bitter cucumbers. To remove the bitterness from the cucumber I follow this method.

First slice the top part. Then add a few slits to the cucumber on top with a knife. Rub the top sliced part with the rest of the cucumber. You will see a froth-like substance on the cucumber.

Doing this gets rid of the bitterness in the cucumber. Slice the frothy part of the cucumber. Rinse and peel it and then thinly slice.

4. Here’s all the thinly sliced veggies on a plate. In clockwise order, there are sliced tomatoes, cucumber, onions, boiled potatoes and beetroot.

sliced tomatoes, cucumber, onions, boiled potatoes and beetroot

5. Use good quality fresh and soft bread. If you have a loaf then slice it equally. I used homemade White Bread. Slice the edges off if you want. I did not because my homemade bread was soft.

You can also use whole wheat bread, brown bread or multigrain bread or ragi bread (finger millet bread) or rye bread.

homemade bread for veg sandwich recipe

6. Spread a generous amount of salted butter on 8 to 10 slices. If you don’t add enough butter then the chutney will cause the bread slices to become soggy.

Note: You can use both salted or unsalted butter. The butter should be softened and at room temperature.

room temperature butter spread on bread slices

7. Spread the coriander chutney now.

8. Place 2 to 3 boiled beetroot slices on 4 to 5 slices of the bread.

beetroot slices on bread slices

9. Sprinkle a pinch or two of black salt or regular salt, roasted cumin powder and chaat masala on the slices.

10. Place 2 to 3 tomato slices on the bread.

16. Cover with the bread slices with the butter and chutney.

17. Slice sandwich into four pieces of rectangles or triangles. If you have larger slices of bread then slice the sandwich into 6 pieces.

18. Serve veg sandwich immediately with extra chutney and Tomato Ketchup. You can also sprinkle fine sev (thin fried gram flour vermicelli) on top when serving.

In Bombay these veg sandwiches are served with tomato ketchup or pumpkin ketchup and the green chutney. You can also enjoy them as it is without any side condiments.

Notes

  1. You can cook the potato in the microwave. Wash the potato well. Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. When the beetroot and potatoes are getting cooked, you can slice the other vegetables and make the chutney.
  3. You can use whole wheat bread or brown bread or multigrain bread or white bread. But the best taste in veg sandwich comes with white bread and this is how it is made by the street food vendors in Mumbai.
  4. Dairy butter is used in these veg sandwiches. But you could easily use vegan butter.
  5. You can also toast these veg sandwiches if you prefer.
