Instructions

  1. Trim the edges of the bread if you prefer.
  2. Spread the butter or brush the olive oil lightly on all the bread slices.
  3. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of the chana masala and spread it evenly on the bread.Ensure that the chana masala or chole masala is dry or semi-dry and does not have any curry or gravy consistency as this will make the bread soggy.
  4. Top with 2 to 3 thin slices each of onion, tomato and capsicum.
  5. Sprinkle a few pinches of chaat masala, roasted cumin powder and black salt.
  6. If you want you can top with some grated cheese.
  7. Cover with another slice of bread.
  8. Toast the chana sandwich in a sandwich maker or grill till golden and crisp.
  9. Spread some olive oil or butter on top of the chole sandwiches if required.
  10. Serve the Chana Sandwich hot with green chutney or sweet tamarind chutney or tomato ketchup.

Notes

  • Ensure that the chana masala does not have any liquid curry consistency. It should be dry or semi-dry. Any liquids or gravy in the chana masala will make the bread moist and soggy.
  • Cheese can be skipped.
  • To make a plant based version, use olive oil and omit the cheese.
