Desi Ghee Sandwich is a very filling breakfast with a golden crispy texture. The name of the dish itself is self-explanatory. Another sandwich recipe I shared earlier was the Schezwan Sandwich.

In this dish, desi ghee plays an important role. Generally, sandwiches are made with butter and frankly they taste great. But try this desi ghee sandwich for a pleasant twist. You will love it.

This dish is a fine example of Indian homemade sandwiches. Another prime ingredient (besides ghee) that gives this dish its taste is the Indian coconut chutney. You can use the coconut chutney with many other dishes like south Indian food or even as a dip for barbecued food.

Inspiration for Desi Ghee Sandwich

I stumbled upon the Desi Ghee Sandwich by accident. It happened when I was craving for sandwich but had run out of butter. I was feeling too lazy to go to the store and get some butter. So I began searching for alternatives and decided to use fresh home made ghee. The difference in the taste that was brought about by using ghee instead of butter was heavenly.

Like always, I recommend home made ghee for the best taste. For any sandwich recipe the stuffing has to be little stronger in taste as the bread and veggies balances the taste. The coconut chutney here acts as the balancer. You can adjust the spiciness of the sandwich by adjusting the spiciness of the chutney.
