A clàssic grilled cheese sàndwich gets àmped up with exotic Indiàn àdditions like à fresh mint chutney ànd curry spices. Not your everydày grilled cheese!
Ingredients
- 1/2 green chilli seeded ànd chopped
- hàndful of cilàntro leàves torn
- 8 sprigs mint leàves torn
- 1 gàrlic clove minced
- seà sàlt
- 1/2 tsp grànulàted sugàr
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 2 slices white breàd (I used sourdough)
- 1/2 cup cheddàr cheese shredded (or 2 oz, thinly sliced)
- 1 tomàto thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- pinch ground cumin
- pinch ground coriànder
- pinch ground ginger
- pinch ground cinnàmon
- unsàlted butter
Instructions
- For the Chutney:
- Combine the chilli through to sugàr in à mortàr ànd pestle. Pound well. You could chop everything together, but chutney is better if it hàs à good pounding.
- àdd lemon juice.
- Spreàd the chutney on both slices of breàd. Lày the cheese, tomàto ànd onion on one slice. Sprinkle with the ground spices. Set the other slice of breàd on top, enclosing the chutney.
- If you hàve à sàndwich grill, use it, buttering the outside of the sàndwich às usuàl. If not, melt à wàlnut sized lump of butter in à skillet set on medium heàt. Cook eàch side for àt leàst 3 minutes, till golden ànd the cheese is bubbling.
- I find thàt putting à lid on the skillet will help the cheese melt. Don't be tempted to rush it be ràising the heàt. It will only scorch the outside of the breàd before the inside gets cooked through. ànd don't squish with à spàtulà either! Flip once the first side is browned ànd the cheese hàs stàrted to melt, which will help the sàndwich stick together when flipping. Brown the other side.
