Quick Tips for the Best Sandwiches:

Prevent Sogginess: Spread a thin layer of butter on the bread before adding chutneys or moist fillings to create a moisture barrier.

Bread Choice: While white bread is traditional for street style, you can swap for multigrain or sourdough for a heartier texture.

The Crunch: For a crunchier sandwich, use a sandwich maker or grill it on a pan with extra butter until the exterior is crisp.
