Now add the steamed/cooked mixed vegetables, salt and a little water if necessary and mix it well.
Let it cook for about 5mins on a low heat so that the masalas and salt are absorbed by the vegetables.
Remove from flame and garnish it with chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and keep it aside without covering.
For preparing the grilled sandwiches
Take each bread slice and thinly apply butter on either side of the slice and stack it on one side and keep it ready.
In the meantime, heat the Sandwich toaster and when it almost reaches the desired temperature, open the lid and fill evenly 4 slices of bread with the stuffing and place it on the grilled platform of the sandwich toaster.
On top of each filled slice, place another slice to cover the filling and close the lid of the toaster.
After 1-2 minutes, open the lid.
Your 4 grilled sandwiches are ready to be served with coriander and mint chutney or tomato sauce.
