The trick to making the best grilled cheese sandwich isn't just in the ingredients but also on the stove. Achieving a golden, crusty look outside and oozy inside takes a little patience. Cooking the slices separately at first gives the cheese a good head start. Here's the recipe for Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

Thinly spread one side of each bread slice with butter. Spread the other side of each slice with mayonnaise and place the bread in a hot tawa, mayonnaise-side-down. Divide the cheese evenly on top of the buttered slices. Adjust the heat so the bread sizzles gently.

When the cheese is about halfway melted, use a spatula to flip one slice over on top of the other, and press lightly to melt. Keep turning the sandwich, pressing gently, until the sandwich is compact, both sides are crusty, and the cheese is melted.

Serve with chips, mint chutney or have it solo, the classic way.
