Grill the assembled sandwich in a sandwich maker or on a pan with a little butter until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
Add a slice of cheese (like Amul or cheddar) on top of the vegetables before closing the sandwich. This is especially delicious when grilled.

It can be a relatively healthy option as it's packed with fresh vegetables. To make it healthier, use whole wheat bread, limit the butter, and use a low-sodium chutney. It provides fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the vegetables.
The key is to apply a good layer of butter on the bread, which acts as a waterproof barrier. Also, use firm tomatoes, a thick chutney, and assemble and eat the sandwich immediately.
It's not recommended to assemble the entire sandwich ahead of time. However, you can prep all the components—boil the potatoes and beetroot, make the chutney, and slice the vegetables—and store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving for the best taste and texture.
Soft, white sandwich bread is traditionally used and gives the most authentic taste and texture. However, you can use whole wheat or multigrain bread for a healthier version.
