Masala Sandwich | Bombay Masala Toast Sandwich is a tasty and crispy pressed sandwich that is layered with spicy green chutney,butter,spicy mashed potato filling and is topped with sliced fresh vegetables and is then toasted or grilled in a sandwich toaster.
This is a yummy Indian choice for breakfast,brunch or snack and is one of the popular spicy veg sandwich recipe amongst college campuses and roadside food stalls.This is a very popular street food snack from Mumbai(Mumbai was previously known as Bombay).So is popular by the name Bombay masala toast sandwich.
How is Bombay Masala Toast Sandwich Made
Bombay Toast is a pressed sandwich layered with green chutney,butter,tomato ketchup,spicy potato filling,fresh sliced vege’s.It is then toasted or grilled in a sandwich toaster.
Bread
I generally prefer plain white bread for sandwhich.But to make it more healthy you can use multigrain bread,whole wheat bread or brown bread.
Butter
This is the key ingredient for sandwich which gives that rich flavour to the sandwich.Also butter brings it all together and brings the taste of sandwich to another level.
For Green Chutney
Green chutney is a condiment made by blending fresh coriander leaves,mint leaves and green chillies which also makes one of the key ingredients needed for the sandwich.It contributes to all the spice and flavour that is needed for a perfect lip smacking sandwich recipe.
For Potato Filling
The potato masala filling is the same masala that is used in popular vada pav.This spicy potato filling makes it special and gives that unique taste to the sandwich. Also in in many chaat centres instead of spicy potato filling slices of boiled potatoes are used.
Vege’s Needed For Sandwich
The veggie’s add both fiber and flavour to the sandwich.Slices of raw vegetables like onion,tomatoes,cucumber,beetroot,carrots and capsicum are used to make the layers in sandwich.
Cheese
Cheese is totally optional.But you can use sliced cheese or chedder to make it more tasty.
Need of Ketchup
Tomato ketchup is just needed for that extra appealing taste.Just keep it ready for serving with sandwich.
Indian Savoury Snack
This is most loved thing after ketchup my girl’s want on the sandwhich.The crispy sev or bhujiya which is nothing but the crispy dry snack made from besan or chickpea flour.This is easily available in the farsaan outlets in the cities.
Assembling for Toast Sandwich
The butter and green chutney is spread over the bread slices.Then the potato filling layer is spread over it.Next the layer of each sliced vegge’s is spread over it.Then the other bread slice that also is buttered and layered with green chutney is kept over this slice.
Toasting Or Grilling
I have a specially used Bombay sandwich toaster that I have bought from the online store.You can use the grill for making the sandwiches.But if both are not available then tawa or pan are also the ideal option.
Serving Suggestions
The toasted sandwiches are cut in four pieces with the help of knife.They are then topped with green chutney,ketchup and the crispy savoury sev or bhujiya.
