You can use an electric sandwich or chapatti maker to toast the sandwich. Place the sandwich in the preheated sandwich maker for approximately 30 seconds or till it becomes golden brown on both sides. Once ready cut the sandwich diagonally into halves, and serve hot with tomato ketch up. Your cucumber sandwich ready!

How to use the chapatti maker: Pre heat the chapatti maker. Light goes off once it is ready. Now place the sandwich on the bottom plate and close the top plate over it. Wait for 10-15 seconds. Lift the top plate and rotate the sandwich 90⁰ and close the top plate over it once again. Wait for 10-15 more seconds. Lift the top plate, and remove the sandwich. 

Note: You may use the standard dosa tava instead of sandwich or chapatti maker. Heat the tava on medium flame and place the sandwich on it. Wait till the bottom slice turns golden brown. Turn over cook the other slice in the same way.
