Bombay Style Indian Sandwich
December 18th, 2007 by Heena

I started liking sandwiches after eating at a food stall in Baroda. This stall was near my Dad’s office, so whenever we visited him at work, we ate sandwiches! They were simply superb! That’s when I fell in love with this type of sandwich.

Being married to a husband who is a thorough Bombayite, I have to constantly keep up with his cravings for street food from Bombay – and sandwich is one of them! This type of sandwich is a staple on the streets of Bombay and you can find a sandwich-walla almost on almost every street corner in Bombay. It’s fairly simple: bread, sandwich chutney, veggies and ketchup (yes, people in Bombay LOVE ketchup with their sandwiches, but its optional, of course).

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of fresh and soft sandwich bread
  • 1 tablespoon Indian Sandwich Chutney
  • Butter (as per taste/preference)
  • Cheese (Any cheese that can be grated and eaten with bread, preferably Amul or Mozzarella)
  • 2 thinly cut circular slices of onion
  • 4-5 thinly cut circular slices of cucumber
  • 2 thinly cut circular slices of beetroot
  • 2 circular slices of tomatoes
  • 3-4 circular thin slices of boiled potato
  • Chaat masala or Sandwich masala (you can get these at any Indian store)

Directions

  1. Take 1 slice of the bread and apply butter on one side and then arrange onions, cucumber, tomatoes, beetroot and potato on it.
  2. Sprinkle a little bit of chat masala or sandwich masala on these toppings.
  3. On the other slice of bread, apply the Indian Sandwich Chutney and put it over the vegetable layer to close the sandwich. (If you like your sandwich grilled, then put it in a Panini-maker)
  4. Cut the sandwich into 4 pieces and grate some cheese on the top of it.
  5. Serve with tomato ketchup and potato chips on the side.

Hi Samasya

I get the sandwich masala from the store. I’m pretty sure you can find it at any local Indian grocery store. If I can find the recipe for it, I’ll post it here.

Thanks,
Heena
