Mumbai Masala Sandwich

🇮🇳 Indian

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.

Prep 26 min Cook 18 min Serves 2 Medium

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
  • Bread4 slices

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the components first — chopped onions, chutneys, spice mixes in reach — because street food waits for nothing.

  2. 2

    Cook the base element — boil, fry or toast it — till it is exactly right; texture is the whole story here.

  3. 3

    Build the moisture layer: green chutney at the edges, sweet tamarind in crosses, yogurt last.

  4. 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. 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.
