Instructions
Prepare the filling
- Mix the broccoli with cream cheese and some salt and pepper and keep aside.
- Mix the potato with 1/2 the spinach puree, and the remaining ingredients for the filling, except the green chutney. Mix well and keep aside.
Prepare the Bread Pakora
- Mix the besan with the remaining spinach puree, salt , pepper and dry mango powder. Add the beer and some water (if needed) to make batter that can coat the bread i.e. not like bread dough but not too watery.
- Butter all the slices of bread.
- On one buttered slice put the broccoli mixture. Top with the other slice, buttered face up. Add some potato mixture on this and top with some mint chutney. Close the sandwich with the last slice, buttered face down- something like a layered club sandwich.
- Dip the sandwich in the flour batter mixture and pan fry till the sides are brown and crisp.
- Cut into pieces and serve immediately.
