Bombay sandwich




We always have sandwich at 'Haji Ali Fruit and Sandwich shop'. They serve such awesome sandwich, but my friend from Mumbai - Shefali Arvind always disagrees. She says that the sandwich wallah in Mumbai makes the most awesome sandwiches!

I have never had the guts to eat the roadside sandwiches in Mumbai (do I dare say unhygienic?), but when a video of a sandwich wallah from Mumbai was circulated in (one of my many) WhatsApp group, I had to make it at home.

The green chutney sandwich made with cucumber is light and non-guilty! If you are worried seeing the amount of butter and cheese used in this white bread sandwich recipe, that would be a great option!

Note: I have not added any salt or Chaat masala in my recipe as in the video. As I felt there was enough salt in the cheese and green chutney. Chaat masala is not liked by my family.
I do not have a sandwich maker, so I used a tawa.

Ingredients for 3 sandwiches:

Bread - 9 slices
Tomato - 3 medium (cut into rounds)
Onion - 2 medium (minced)
Capsicum - 1 large (minced)
Cheese grated - 4 tbsp
Butter - 6 tbsp (room temperature)
Green chutney* - 6 tsp
Pepper - 3 pinches

* if you do not have mint, make chutney with only coriander leaf, green chilly, roasted gram, salt and lemon juice.

Method:
Assembling the sandwich is fairly easy.
Apply green chutney on a slice of bread.
Top with onion and capsicum.
Place a buttered slice of bread on top.
Apply butter also on top of this second bread.
Place your tomato and cheese on top.
Cover with a slice of bread which has green chutney spread on it.
Apply butter on top.
Grill on a medium hot tawa / sandwich maker till golden brown on both sides.
Cut into pieces and serve.
