this recipe of club sandwich is similar to the veg club sandwiches that used to be served in restaurants in mumbai. during our growing up years, we would relish this sandwich and it would be one of our frequent order in restaurants.

the fillings added in this veg club sandwich is slightly different. besan chilla or tomato omelette is used as one of the stuffing. there is a layer of cucumber, lettuce and tomato ( i have only added tomatoes and cucumber). the third layer is of cheese or grated veggies like cabbage and carrots mixed with mayonnaise or just plain cheese slices are used. i did not have mayonnaise, so i mixed grated veggies with cheese. you can also just use cheese slices.

i make these club sandwiches on occasions and it is relished by everyone at home. they are pretty easy to prepare. i have used coriander chutney in the sandwiches, but you can skip it and use mayonnaise or a cheese spread. you can be innovative and make your own fillings for these sandwiches.

the bread is usually toasted and then the sandwiches are made. if you are not a fan of toasted bread as they become slightly dense on cooling, then you can directly place the sandwiches in a sandwich maker and toast or grill them. or you can make them without toasting the bread.

these club sandwiches are filling and heavy. you can make them as kids evening snack or for small parties. its best to serve them immediately.
