2 tbsp coconut (dried, shredded coconut from the supermarket is fine)
1 lime
3-4 green chillies (Thai chillies work well)
salt to taste
For the sandwich (makes two)
4-5 tbsp chutney per sandwich
4 slices sandwich bread (white is conventional and it really does work much better here than wheat, whole grain, or other types)
1 tomato, sliced
⅓ cucumber, sliced
Optional ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
Optional 1 small potato, boiled, and cut into slices
Optional ketchup
Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
To make the chutney:
Place the cilantro, chillies, coconut, juice of half a lime, 1 tsp water, and a pinch of salt in a food chopper or processor. Start with 1 or 2 chillies and add more as required. Blend away, periodically scraping down the side of the bowl with a spatula.
Add more chillies, lime, or salt as necessary and keep blending until you have a smooth mixture. If its too thick, add water by the teaspoon. It should have the consistency of ketchup.
To assemble the sandwich:
Spread 2 tbsp of chutney on each slice of bread.
Layer cucumber, tomato, and (optionally) onion and potato slices on two of the
slices.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on top and close the sandwich with the
other slices.
Optional: squirt some ketchup on top for extra authenticity.
