Bombay Masala Toast Sandwich

Pin

 

I would have never known of this simple yet delicious sandwich, had it not been the little food joint opposite to our office lane. Usually, I order food through our office boy. He knows what I like to eat, so he asks me and orders accordingly. One day, he suggested me to try the “Bombay Masala Toast” from this outlet and I didn’t know what to expect. I went by as he suggested. I didn’t find the sandwich so intriguing but as per my colleague P, it is one of the most sought-out street food in Mumbai. I was surprised to know that and then slowly got to knowing about the sandwich more.

 

The next time I ate it, I carefully dug into it seeing what each layer had in between it. One very important factor of this sandwich is the butter used. It always has to be Amul, nothing else! When I am in a mood to make this at home, I buy a little pack of Amul butter so that I can spread it into my sandwich. 😀 The way I have done my sandwich is the way I have eaten it from not one, but two joints downstairs our office. Both seemed to have followed the same format, so I stick to what I have known. The green chutney and the vegetables adds a very nice zing to an otherwise simple sandwich, and also not to forget the generous sprinkling of chaat masala, adjusted to how you like it! Off to the recipe…
