Grilled Sprouts Sandwich

Sprouts sandwich is a simple-to-make sandwich but a filling and healthy one that you can prepare in a jiffy. No much cooking and all you need is the spicy green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney which compliments well to the sandwich. The best part of this sandwich is that there is no use of potatoes in this recipe. I have prepared both these chutneys at home, the recipe link is here. You can use store brought chutneys too. The sprout making I have already shared here in the moth sprouts tikki, pls check this link. I have used moth sprouts, but you can use any sprouts of your choice. Enjoy !!
