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.
