• Butter - Apply generous amount of butter while toasting the bread as it adds to the crispness of the sandwich as well as enhances the aroma and flavor.
• Excessive stuffing - Do not stuff in too much as the excess tends to ooze off during toasting.
• Preparation - Grill your bread on low to medium as too much heat can burn the stuffing.

About Channa Masala Sandwich

Channa Masala Sandwich is an interesting fusion that is loved and relished by sandwich lovers. This recipe indeed tells us how our kitchen experiments can lead to surprisingly delicious results. Additionally, this recipe stands as one of the most satisfying recipes I have created in recent times.

The sandwich filling is prepared with overnight soaked chickpeas, sautéed and tempered with onions, tomatoes, and Indian spices making it a great option for a sandwich. A dash of lemon juice adds to the tanginess and the chopped coriander leaves give in its goodness to the dish. The mixture is mildly spicy, tangy, and perfect to go between the buttered breads.

This chana masala sandwich is just an idea of using leftover chana masala rather than a recipe. I always end up using leftover chana masala for making chana masala dosa or sandwiches. This recipe was born out of the need for something really interesting and quick.

I heated the chana masala for the gravy to thicken, assembled the slices of bread, and got the sandwich maker ready. In no time, I served these sandwiches hot with ketchup, ginger chai, and milkshake for kids. I also served this chana masala sandwich for my blogger friend who visited me last year and she loved it too so that justifies a post right?!

Chana Masala Sandwich Ingredients

• Bread - This is the base of the recipe. You can trim the sides if you want. Apply butter on the outside while grilling for the brown tints.
• Chana masala - You can use fresh or leftover masala. Ensure there is no water in the masala. Dry the masala completely otherwise the sandwich might get soggy.
• Onion - I have added finely chopped onions to the masala. You can skip it if you don't like the flavor of raw onions.
• Chat masala powder - this is optional. Sprinkling the powder will add tanginess and give a nice desi-style sandwich vibe.

Why This Recipe Works

• Balanced flavors, filing and healthy.
• Quick and easy to make.
• Smart lunch box recipe.
• Minimal ingredients and efforts.
• Can be customized as per your choice.
• Kids-friendly and travel-friendly.

Expert Tips

• Texture - Texture is very important as the chana masala can make the sandwich soggy. Ensure the masala is dry. Excessive moisture can mess up the sandwich.
• Mash a little - You can smash a few of the chickpeas while sauteing. This helps in bringing the filing together and prevents them from falling out.
• Spice Level - You can spice it up as per your requirement. It also depends on the bread you are using. For wheat or multigrain style of bread, bold flavors work well.
• Butter it up - Butter is another important ingredient and can use them generously. Apply butter on the outer side of the bread for that crisp golden finish.
• Add-ons - You can add fresh elements to the sandwich like cucumber, lettuce, and onions.
• A layer of cheese - You can add a slice of cheese or grated cheese to the sandwich before grilling them. It adds flavors to the sandwich and stands as a barrier against moisture.
• Grill it up - You can easily grill the sandwiches, or simply tawa fry them with a dollop of butter. Easy toasting is important.

Serving and Storage

Serve this sandwich hot with green chutney, ketchup, or a simple yogurt bowl. You can pair it well with chai or coffee and make it a satisfying tea-time snack. You can add a bowl of salad or roasted peanuts to complete the meal. You can cut them into triangles or squares depending on your guest.

The chana masala can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days. It is recommended to enjoy the sandwiches fresh, however, you can pack them for lunch box, and can be consumed within 4-5 hours. Freezing the sandwiches is not recommended.
