Instructions
In a bowl, combine the chicken with the tandoori spice mix, salt, garlic, yogurt, lemon juice, Kashmiri chili powder, and oil. Mix well and marinate for at least 15–20 minutes, or overnight.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Let it rest for a few minutes, reserving 1–2 teaspoons of the spiced oil from the pan. Slice the chicken into bite-sized strips.
Stir together the mayonnaise, tomato paste, Kashmiri chili powder, tandoori spice mix, garlic, salt, and reserved spiced oil. Toss the sliced chicken with 1–2 tablespoons of the tandoori mayo until lightly coated.
Toast the bread until golden. Spread tandoori mayo over one slice of toast. Top with lettuce, tomato, and sliced eggs. Season the tomato and eggs with salt and black pepper.
Place a second slice of toast on top and spread with more tandoori mayo. Add two cheddar slices, followed by the saucy chicken and lettuce. Top with the remaining slice of toast.
Gently press the tandoori sandwich together and secure with sandwich picks if desired. Slice diagonally and serve immediately with potato chips or masala fries.

Notes
You can also grill or air fry the chicken cutlets instead of pan-frying.
Each sandwich uses 1 slice of cheddar. Add an extra slice if you want a richer, cheesier result.
This sandwich is best assembled just before serving. The sauce and tomatoes will soften the toast quickly if it sits.
