Spread a layer of green chutney over one side of each bread slice.
Layer the sliced potato, cucumber, tomato, and onion over three of the slices, sprinkling chaat masala and salt as you go.
Close each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, chutney side down.
Butter the outside of the sandwiches and grill them on a hot tawa or pan, pressing gently, until both sides are golden and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Cut into triangles and serve hot with extra chutney on the side.
