Instructions

1. Prep the yogurt - Separate the why from the yogurt, by placing a mesh strainer in a bowl and line it with a cheese cloth. Add the yogurt into the cheesecloth and tie or wrap it tightly. Place a heavy weight on top of it and refrigerate for a couple hours. If not using Greek yogurt, place it overnight.
2. Prepare the Avocado Cilantro Dressing - Skip this step if using Green Chutney, but if you haven't tried the dressing, I highly recommend it. To a blender, add the cilantro, avocado, yogurt, garlic pods, green chilies or jalapenos, salt, lime juice, roasted cumin powder (optional) and a couple tablespoons of water (depending on the blender you use) and blitz it all into a smooth sauce. Cover and keep aside. Detailed recipe is here.
3. Prep the vegetables - You can either finely chop the purple cabbage and carrots, or finely shred it using a mandolin. I have found the the spread spreads evenly if I chop the veggies finely. You could even use ready to eat shredded carrots, however chop them finely for even spreading.
4. Prep the spreads - Dive the yogurt into two bowls. To one add the finely chopped carrots and to the other add the purple cabbage. Now add salt and pepper to both and incorporate the ingredients well. If adding any herbs , add them to your spread now.
5. Assemble the sandwich - Next take 4 slices of bread .Take a tablespoon of the green chutney or avocado cilantro dressing and spread on the first slice. Take a table or two of the carrot spread and spread on the second slice. Do the same with the purple cabbage spread. You can either choose to butter the 4th slice or skip it. Next place the slices on top of eachother starting with the green slice first facing the top, then orange, then purple and finally cover with the 4th slice.
6. Slice the sandwich - Using a bread knife or a serrated knife, gently trim all the edges of the bread. Then cut the sandwich into 4 triangles or squares or into two halves. Serve in a platter or plate and relish these finger sandwiches.
