Bombay Masala Sandwich #Recipe

Bombay Masala Sandwich is a very popular roadside snack from the city of Mumbai. Between two grilled bread slices smeared with a generous amount of green chutney and butter is a spicy potato mixture topped with onion and tomato slices and grated cheese. The roadside vendors are very generous when it comes to filling it and topping it with cheese. I, however, exercise caution when I make it at home. However, if you like it cheesy you can be as generous as you like!

It is best to have this sandwich when it is freshly made - crisp and hot, along with a cup of masala chai.


Here in Pune, I have been to a very popular roadside joint somewhere in F.C.Road which sells a variety of sandwiches - the most popular among them being Bombay Masala Sandwich and Chocolate Sandwich. Every evening and especially on weekends one can see a huge crowd queueing up there to get a sandwich to munch on. Well, these days I can't imagine going there tagging Baby M with me. So, I end up making it at home.
