Bombay Sandwich

History

A Mumbai street-food institution, the Bombay sandwich layers thin slices of buttered white bread with spiced mashed potato, cucumber, tomato, onion and boiled beetroot, all bound by a bright green coriander-mint chutney and dusted with tangy chaat masala. Sold from carts across the city, it's often pressed in a hinged griddle into a crisp 'grilled' version.
