    I'd happily eat this delicious street-food classic on any day of the
    week. It can be made with a variety of fillings, and each stall will
    have its own range of vegetables, cheese and spices to pile into
    white bread and toast. The ratio of potato filling to bread is really
    important, because you don't want to overfill the toastie, while I
    always butter both sides of the bread, because that ensures it goes
    crisp and golden brown when fried. You also need a really good
    melting cheese

    Put all the ingredients for the chutney in a blender, add a splash of
    water and blitz to a thick paste.

    This may make more chutney than you need here, but any leftovers keep
    well in the fridge for three or four days, and go with all sorts.

    In a large bowl, mix the crushed boiled potatoes with the chaat
    masala, black pepper and salt.

    Add the green peppers and red onion, and stir well to combine.

    Lay four of the bread slices on a large plate and apply butter
    generously to one side of each slice.

    Spread a little of the green chutney on top of two slices, then
    spread the potato filling over the other two slices and top the
    potato filling with a slice or two of the cheese.

    Lay the first two slices of bread chutney-side down on top of the
    cheese, then press down lightly to seal.

    Spread butter on both sides of the outside of the sandwiches, then
    repeat with the remaining bread, butter, chutney, spiced potato mix
    and cheese.

    Put a large, nonstick frying pan on a medium heat, then lay in two
    sandwiches, cover with a lid and leave to fry for two minutes, until
    the base turns crisp, is evenly coloured and light brown.

    Flip over with a spatula, cover again and fry on the other side for
    two minutes more.

    Cook the remaining two toasties in the same way, and serve warm with
    any remaining chutney or with tomato ketchup.
