Love the sandwich
recipe, it's easy full of
flavor, and brings back
memories from my
childhood. It's a big hit
in my house for easy
dinners and picnics."
- npbista

I had my first chutney cheese butter

sandwich at six years old while
traveling from Nigeria to India on Air
India. At 6, I vividly remember opening
up the sandwich on the plane and
seeing what was in it because it was
that good.

···

Did I mention that I love plane food

too? I know, I'm so weird. It gets me
so excited when I travel
internationally.

I am obsessed with chai and anything

that has to do with chai. I get so
excited about the fun snacky food
that goes with chai, in this case,
vegetarian tea sandwiches.

For your next afternoon tea party, be

sure to try out these delicious and
easy finger sandwiches.

What Are Afternoon

Tea Party
Sandwiches
Tea parties are incomplete without
finger sandwiches. Afternoon Tea
Party Sandwiches are crustless dainty
sandwiches with delicious sandwich
fillings ideal for afternoon tea. Tea
Sandwiches, also referred to as finger
sandwiches, originated in the United
Kingdom.

···

For those of you who don't know, the

British had a significant influence on
the Indian Tea Culture that is still
present in India. Our version of "tea
time" is Masala Chai, where water,
tea leaves, spices, and milk are boiled
resulting in the best Indian Chai. I was
inspired by the English Afternoon Tea
and decided to add a desi spin to
things.

Out of all the savory finger

sandwiches, My favorite combo is the
classic Cucumber Tea Sandwich.
Desify it by adding some chutney and
chat masala and you've got an Indian-
inspired Cucumber Tea Sandwich.
