Green Chutney for the Vegetable Sandwich
    Green Chutney for the Vegetable Sandwich
  1. For the green chutney to make Mumbai veg sandwich recipe | vegetable sandwich | take a small mixer jar and add the coriander to it. Smaller jar is always better to use as it is easier to blend in it. Make sure the coriander is nice and fresh and also green in colour.
