Healthy Chicken Salami Cheese Sandwich (Indian Style)

📝 Ingredients (for 2 sandwiches):

• 4 slices of whole wheat or multigrain bread (preferably toasted)
• 4–6 slices of chicken salami (grilled or lightly pan-seared)
• 2 slices of low-fat cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Amul Lite)
• ½ small onion, thinly sliced
• ½ small tomato, thinly sliced
• ½ small cucumber, thinly sliced (optional)
• 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional, for spice)
• 1 tbsp hung curd or Greek yogurt (for healthier spread)
• ½ tsp chaat masala or sandwich masala
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Fresh coriander or mint leaves, chopped
• 1 tsp olive oil or ghee (optional for toasting)

🔥 Preparation:

1. Prepare the spread:
   • In a small bowl, mix hung curd, black pepper, a pinch of chaat masala, and a few chopped coriander/mint leaves. You can add a little mustard or mint chutney for extra flavor.
2. Grill or sear the salami:
   • Lightly sear chicken salami slices on a non-stick pan for 1-2 minutes per side (optional but adds flavor and reduces moisture).
3. Assemble the sandwich:
   • Spread the yogurt mixture on one side of each bread slice.
   • Layer with:
     • Chicken salami
     • Cheese slice
     • Onion, tomato, and cucumber slices
     • Sprinkle more chaat masala if desired
     • Add green chili (if using) for a spicy kick
4. Toast it (optional):
   • Grill or toast the sandwich on a pan or sandwich maker until the cheese melts and the bread is crispy. Use a few drops of oil or ghee for toasting if desired.
