Bombay Aloo Masala Sandwiches are a staple street food in Amchi Mumbai….or maybe a vegetable toast sandwich or a plain Chutney (salsa) sandwich…the options are endless and oh so yummy! ๐
I personally love the vegetable cheese grill sandwich! It’s like the best of both worlds…you get veggies and if you are a cheese lover like me…it’s just so good with that cheese within and on the outside๐๐๐๐….a side of some potato crisps/ chips/ wafers…and some ketchup๐
Similarly, there is another hot favourite among most Mumbaikars….the spicy, aromatic and very delicious Bombay Aloo Masala Sandwich…make it as a toast sandwich or a grilled one…it’s amazing! Aaaaannnddd…..it’s my hubby’s favorite ๐
This is a regular breakfast or evening snack at our place…and my Mom’s recipe for the filling/ Aloo Masala is super duper yum!
I usually use brown bread to make them…you can use regular white sandwich bread or any multigrain bread if your choice. I had once even usedย a Homemade Herbed Focacia bread for this sandwich and it was so good! Do try my recipe for Green Chutney, it goes so well with sandwiches.
Anyways…let’s get you started on the recipe..
To make the filling:
Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds, hing and chopped green chillie. Sautรฉ for a minute.
Next, add the chopped onions. Sweat them for a few minutes. Then add the capsicum. Sautรฉ again. Tip in the tomatoes followed by the salt, turmeric, red chillie powder, ginger-garlic paste. Mix well and cook these together until the tomatoes turn mushy and the raw smell of the ginger- garlic paste goes away.
Next, add the mashed potatoes along with the Pav bhaji Masala. Also add the amchur powder and mix well. Turn off the flea me. Add chopped coriander leaves and give them all a final mix. That’s your filling done! Keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
To make the sandwich:
Take 2 slices of bread. Slather both the slices with butter. Sprinkle some chaat Masala (optional) and spread a thick layer of the potato filling. Heat the griller/ toaster…spread some butter on the griller plate and place the sandwich on it and let it crisp up on both sides. Serve hot with some chips/ crisps and ketchup!
