Sandwiches can be made in many ways, however which way they are made, they are super yummy! Like these street food speciality Bombay sandwich. These are loaded with fun vegetables like boiled sliced potatoes, green capsicum (bell pepper), tomatoes, cucumber.
But the main tang and kick comes from the pudina chutney made fresh to smear on these sandwiches. A sprinkling of chaat masala seals the deal. Bombay sandwich is moist, crunchy and very very delicious. Different variations of Bombay sandwich do exist and they are made in every place.
Fond memories of eating this fun Bombay sandwich is in Mumbai of course and also from a famous street style food joint in Bangalore (Cool Joint)! Grated beetroot, sev, grated paneer, grated cheese etc are also added as additional fillings.
Bombay sandwich makes for a fun Sunday evening snack! It can be made with white, brown or multi-grain seeded bread but it should be soft bread and not crusty and of course it should be fresh. Serve with ketchup and savour the fun!
