Take two bread slices. Using a knife, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Then evenly spread green chutney over them. Then layer the veggies on one slice. Start off by cucumber, potatoes and tomato slices.
Sprinkle some sandwich masala on top. Add another layer of cucumber slices. Sprinkle sandwich masala and salt.
Use another butter and chutney covered bread slice. Put it face down so to close the layered sandwich.
Place the prepared sandwich in a Panini maker or a sandwich maker and grill it. The outer layer should get golden brown and toasty.
Once you get the grill marks on the bread, take it out using the tongs or slotted spoon. Cut diagonally into 2 pieces and serve with some chutney and ketchup on the side.
Repeat the process to make rest of the sandwiches.
Serve warm. Enjoy !

Notes

This is pre-prep and assemble recipe. Cut all your veggies, melt the butter so it's spreadable and have your grill ready.
If you are making multiple sandwiches, setting up the assembly line of ingredients helps with quick and easy preparation.
Traditional recipes were made using white sandwich bread. But to make it wholesome, feel free to use any multigrain or whole wheat bread.
Use chaat masala if Sandwich masala is not available. You can switch it up with other spices of your choice too.
You can also enjoy this sandwich without grilling it. Even the cold sandwich tastes great.
These sandwiches taste best when freshly made. So prepare and serve / eat them immediately.
Since cucumber and tomatoes start to release water, they get soggy relatively quickly. So don't try to pre-make them.
You can stack couple layers of prepared sandwich over on top to make multiple layered giant sandwich. Sprinkle some sev over Toast Sandwich before serving.
Removing the crust of the bread is optional. You can keep it on or cut it off depending upon your preference.
If you do not have panini maker or sandwich grill, you can use stove top grill too.
