Bombay Masala

Product Information

Chaat Masala is used as a table condiment, it is sprinkled over food to provide extra spicy, salty dimension. The Chutney can be prepped a day ahead and stored in the fridge. It is also multi-purpose and can be added to wraps, pakoras, or chaat.

Once you have the mashed potato filling ready, all you need is butter, bread, crisp, crunchy vegetables, cheese and condiments to spread and serve. To prepare for the week ahead, I boil the potatoes in my Instant Pot over the weekend, and make the potato filling after that. Then, grill the sandwiches the day I am going to serve. The potatoes and filling mix will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Variations to Try - Vegan & Low-Carb It is essentially a vegetable panini that reigns supreme along the streets of Mumbai, and also referred to as Bombay Toastie and Mumbai Masala Toast! Don't skip toasting the spices. It's tempting to add the spices and tomato sauce all at once, but the extra 30-60 seconds of heat for the spices really brings out their flavor for a more robust sauce. Sandwiches are very popular in Mumbai. You will find a sandwich stall near every almost college, near railway stations, in markets etc. I am used to eating sandwiches outside since my school days and then later during my college days. My mom also used to make sandwiches at home. But I always preferred the spicy sandwiches made by the Bombay roadside vendors.

📖 Recipe

The Chutney calls for Daliya Dal (Roasted Split Gram). You can substitute it with peanuts too. To make it a bright green, Cilantro should be fresh. Please remove the butter from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. So it’s easier to apply to the bread slices. Boil Beetroot and potatoes in a pressure cooker or an instant pot. Once cooked and cooled, peel the skin and thinly slice them. Keep it aside. In the Fridge: Store leftover Bombay Aloo in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

Hot version: If you really love the spice, use the minimum amount of cream and double the amount of garam masala in both the marinade and sauce. You might also consider looking for some kashmiri red chili powder to add to the sauce along with the other spices. Even just 1 teaspoon of kashmiri red chili powder brings a whole other level of heat to this dish!

Bread: My family prefers whole grain bread, but use your favorite sliced sandwich bread or whatever you have on hand. To enhance the flavours of the spicy Bombay Aloo, garnish with a generous amount of fresh coriander and squeeze some lemon juice on top for a zing. Every Indian Household has its own recipe of garam masala. Here is what I use, you can vary the quantity of any spice according to your taste. Ingredients

The serrano chili and cayenne flavor the filling to a medium spice level. The spices are then tamed when layered with the bread and cheese. As always, skip the green chili and cayenne for mild. Toasted Bombay Masala Sandwich is a pressed-sandwich layered with chutney, aloo masala (spiced mashed potatoes), fresh vegetables, then grilled in a sandwich toaster.
