Veg grilled sandwich recipe – Sandwiches are a favorite among many and like to enjoy for their Breakfast or evening chai. Bombay sandwiches are quite a common street food not only in Mumbai but even in other parts of India. Most chat places, tea shops, tiffin centers & Indian restaurants have a variety of Mumbai street foods on their menu.
These veg grilled sandwich can be made for breakfast, brunch or a snack and are quite filling. These can also be carried to work as they keep good for few hours.
Green chutney and sandwich masala are the key ingredients to make these grilled sandwiches taste great.
To make these veg grilled sandwiches, firstly a generous amount of butter is smeared over the white bread followed by the green chutney. It is then topped with boiled veggies and sandwich masala or chaat masala. The sandwich is then grilled in a toaster or a hand held grill.
Tips to make grilled sandwich
- You can use any bread you have in hand. To make it healthier choose whole grain or wheat bread.
- This grilled sandwich uses green chutney. I have shared the recipe of it as well in the recipe card. However if you do not have the chutney, just replace with any sandwich spread of your choice.
- For variations you can stir in few tbsps of the green chutney with 2 to 3 tbsps of thick hung curd or mayo.
- I have made the veg grilled sandwich in a toaster. For convenience you can also just grill it on a tawa. But the sandwich will not bind well so handle them carefully.
- You can also use your favorite veggies like beetroot, broccoli or carrots. Just steam them and use.
How to make grilled sandwich
1. Boil or steam potatoes and beetroot. I skipped beets and steamed potatoes just until done. While the potatoes steam make the green chutney.
2. Cool the beets and potatoes and slice them. While they cool, you can slice the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and bell peppers.
3. We will need green chutney that is thick and is of good spreading consistency. You can find the the recipe of green chutney here. You can also use mayo or tomato sauce if you don’t prefer to make the chutney.
4. Spread a generous amount of butter over the bread slices on both the sides. Butter prevents the bread from turning soggy.
5. Spread a generous amount of green chutney.
6. Layer the potatoes and beetroot.
7. Then the cucumber and tomatoes.
8. Then the onions and bell peppers.
9. Sprinkle a generous amount of sandwich masala. I used store bought masala. If you do not have just replace with a good chaat masala.
10. Cover with another slice of buttered bread.
11. Grill it either on stove top using a hand held sandwich griller or in a electric one.
12. Grill until golden and crusty.
Slice and serve veg grilled sandwich.
