Pav Bhaji Grill Sandwich Style

🇮🇳 Indian

Bhaji-pressed sandwich with cheese and sev, the Bombay grill-stand hybrid. Bold, loud, sweet-hot-sour-tangy all at once — India's street food playbook. Serve in paper plates for the full street experience.

Prep 25 min Cook 25 min Serves 2 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Green Chili1-2, finely chopped
  • Potato3 medium, cubed
  • Lemon1
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Bread4 slices

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out everything mise-en-place: this is assembly food, and it moves fast once you start.

  2. 2

    Get the base going: crisp what should be crisp, soft what should be soft.

  3. 3

    Spoon over the chutneys and yogurt in wide ribbons across the whole surface, not the middle.

  4. 4

    Dust the spices from a height so they fall evenly, then bury it under the crunch.

  5. 5

    Finish with the bread, one last pinch of masala, and serve before the crunch softens.

Chef's tip

Black salt (kala namak) is the secret edge; seek it out.
