Goan green chutney
This is a recipe that's got so many memories linked with it. My grandmother used to make chutney sandwiches and sell them outside the school. Back then we did not have a food processor, people used to use the granite pestle and motors. I still remember making all the masala paste using this really big granite stone till one day, a mixer and grinder was bought home. I hope you try and enjoy this!

Notes
My perfect sandwich will always have a layer of butter and a layer of the chutney...and always generous with both!
