chutney sandwich recipe
ingredients (1 cup = 250 ml)
for the chutney:
- 1 cup tightly packed coriander leaves (dhania patta) - chopped
- ¼ cup grated coconut
- 1 green chili (hari mirch)
- ½ teaspoon sugar or as required
- 4 to 5 tablespoon water for grinding
- ¼ teaspoon salt or add as required
other ingredients:
- 12 to 15 bread slices - white or brown or whole wheat or multi grain bread
- butter as required
how to make recipe
preparing chutney for sandwich:
- rinse the 1 cup tightly packed coriander leaves and then roughly chop them. also rinse and chop the green chilies.
- take the chopped coriander leaves, ¼ cup grated coconut, 1 green chili & 1/2 tsp sugar in a grinder jar.
- add 4 tbsp water and grind to a smooth chutney.
- take the chutney in a bowl and keep aside.
making chutney sandwich:
spread butter evenly on bread slices. if packing the sandwiches for tiffin box or picnics, then spread a generous amount of butter, so that the bread does not become soggy.
if you want you can slice the edges. since i was using homemade white bread, the edges were soft and not stiff like the store brought bread. hence i did not slice the edges.
now spread the chutney on the slices.
usually i spread the coriander coconut chutney on both slices. but if you want, then you can spread the chutney on only one slice.
- bring together the bread slices to form a sandwich.
- slice & serve the chutney sandwiches plain with some tea or coffee.

Megha says
My mom made these for me all through my school years. They were my favorite! She would make a red chutney and tier them to make Indian Flag sandwiches. Those were a hit! My question is, can I sub dried coconut and coconut milk if I can’t find fresh?
dassana amit says
thank you Megha. you can make red chutney and have a tri coloured sandwiches. you can easily use dried coconut instead of fresh.

Bharath Reddy says
Thank you for the simple and useful recipe.
I am beginner at cooking and get worried when I see proportions.
So what do you mean when you say 1 cup coriander and 1/4 cup coconut? How much quantity is that? Will I go wrong if I get the proportions wrong?
dassana amit says
thanks bharath. 1 cup coriander is about 1 very small bunch of coriander leaves. and 1/4 coconut is about 4 to 5 tbsp of grated coconut. balance is essential in any recipe. if the proportions go wrong, then the final dish can also go wrong.
Mel says
Hi Dassana & Amit, thank u for this beautiful website! I’ve tried a few (not all have been a success) and I keep checking to see if there are new recipes. With this recipe, if I had to make the chutney and store it for a few days, can i keep it in an air tight container in the fridge? Will it last a couple of days?
dassana amit says
thanks mel. since coconut is used, this chutney won’t taste fresh for long. use it within a day, after keeping in the refrigerator.

Dear Dassana
I want to use it for paani puri and Bhel puri will this work. Thanks for this recipe.
dassana amit says
yes this chutney will work. for pani puri, in this chutney you will need to add water to make a thin consistency. for behl puri, you can use as it is. but also accompany sweet tamarind chutney with both pani puri and bhel puri. there is a recipe for pani of the pani puri which i make often with pani puri. here’s the link – https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/pani-puri-recipe-mumbai-pani-puri-recipe/

ranjeeta says
Its really nice & testy…need ur help using paneer and palak in a sandwich…
dassana amit says
thanks ranjeeta. you can add some 1/4 cup of chopped palak leaves to the green chutney that you make. it could be coriander chutney or mint chutney. you can just add grated paneer with the veggies. and then grill or toast the sandwich. you can also have a look at this paneer veg sandwich recipe – https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/paneer-veg-sandwich/
