Picnic food is fun to make, especially if you are not really going on a picnic but just pretending to on a rainy, weary weeknight. These green chutney and cheese sandwiches are just the thing if you are looking for a quick and easy snack or meal.
About once a month, TH and I have sandwiches for dinner. It’s just one of those inexplicable things we do. One of our favourites is always the sandwiches with pudina chutney.
Since I got a mint plant for my balcony, there’s no dearth of fresh mint and I love using fresh herbs in my cooking. Well, don’t we all?
This is a quick sandwich recipe that works great for a picnic, tiffin box, or even brunch or tea party. It tastes great and is filling too!

Makes 4
Serves 2
Ingredients:
8 slices of bread of your choice
4 slices of cheese
For the Mint Chutney:
A bunch of fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated coconut
1 green chilli
1/2 tsp minced garlic (optional)
A pinch of dry ginger powder or 1/2″ piece of fresh ginger
Salt to taste
Grind all ingredients together with very little water to a smooth paste.
To assemble and toast the sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the mint chutney on one side of the bread slice. Top with a slice of cheese and toast in a sandwich maker until done. You can also toast in a pan on the stovetop with a pat of butter until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Serve mint chutney cheese sandwiches hot with ketchup.

Was skimming through your blog, Nags, and this one certainly takes me back in time to my childhood days in the Gulf. We'd go for picnics ever-so-often on hot summer's weekends to the beaches and sand-dunes and of course, parks. One of the aunts in our friend's circle used to get this every time. It breaks my heart to say she's no more now.. but the memories of this yummy sandwich and the good times we shared around it remain. It's a crowd pleaser for sure!
