Servings 2
Description
Toasted bread topped with cucumber and green chutney
Ingredients
  • Bread slices – 2
  • Cucumber – 1 (small to medium)
  • Salt - a pinch
  • Pepper powder - to taste
  • Cheese slices - 2
  • Butter - to toast bread slices
    • For green chutney
  • Coriander leaves - 1 cup
  • Green chillies – 1 to 2
  • Roasted gram dal - 1 tbsp
  • Salt - to taste
Instructions
    To make the chutney
  1. grind together-coriander leaves, green chillies, roasted gram dal, salt, little water. Set aside.
  2. Wash, peel and grate cucumber. Do not grate the center/ seeds portion as they have more water content. Squeeze out the excess water from grated cucumber and put into a bowl.
  3. Add in the green chutney, salt, pepper powder to the cucumber. Mix well. You must get a moist and spreadable mixture.
  4. Butter the bread slices on both sides. Toast on a hot pan on both sides till slightly crisp, toasted and brown.
  5. Remove and keep 1 cheese slice over each toasted slice. Top it with cucumber topping. Serve immediately!
Note
Roasted gram dal means dalia or hurikadle(in Kannada).
You could add ¼ cup mint leaves to chutney when you grind. But in that case add 1 medium onion instead of roasted gram dal. Also squeeze in ½ tsp lime juice. Mint-cucumber-cheese is a classic combo!
Roasted gram dal gives a thicker consistency to chutney suitable for cucumber which is slightly moist.
