Mumbai Masala Sandwich
The chutney-slathered, sev-crowned sandwich of Mumbai's street corners. Chaotic in the best way: every bite hits a different note. Serve in paper plates for the full street experience.
Ingredients
- Butter3 tbsp
- Saltto taste
- Onion1, finely chopped
- Green Chili1-2, finely chopped
- Potato3 medium, cubed
- Lemon1
- Cucumber1, diced
- Chaat Masala1 tsp
- Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras
- Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
Instructions
- 1
Prep the components first — chopped onions, chutneys, spice mixes in reach — because street food waits for nothing.
- 2
Cook the base element — boil, fry or toast it — till it is exactly right; texture is the whole story here.
- 3
Build the moisture layer: green chutney at the edges, sweet tamarind in crosses, yogurt last.
- 4
Shower with the dry elements: chaat masala, roasted cumin, chili, and the crunchy topping — do this at the last second so it stays loud.
- 5
Garnish with the potato, a final dusting of chaat masala and serve within minutes, eating straight from the plate.
Chef's tip
If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
