Bombay Sandwich

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   • Ensure your potatoes and beetroot are boiled, peeled, and completely cooled. This helps in getting clean slices.
   • Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes, beetroot, cucumber, tomatoes, and onion into very thin, even rounds.
   • Keep all the sliced vegetables arranged on a plate for quick assembly.
2. 2

   Prepare the Bread

   • Lay out all 8 slices of bread on a clean, dry surface.
   • Spread a thin but complete layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. This crucial step creates a barrier that prevents the bread from getting soggy from the chutney.
3. 3

   Assemble the Sandwich

   • Take 4 of the buttered bread slices. On the buttered side, spread a generous, even layer of green chutney.
   • Begin layering the vegetables on top of the chutney. A typical order is potato slices, followed by cucumber, tomato, onion rings, and finally beetroot slices.
   • Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper powder, and a generous amount of chaat masala over the vegetable layers for that signature tangy flavor.
4. 4

   Close and Serve

   • Take the remaining 4 buttered bread slices and place them on top, butter-side down, to complete the sandwiches.
   • Press down gently with your palm to compact the layers slightly.
   • For an authentic street-style experience, trim the crusts off the sandwich using a sharp knife.
   • Slice each sandwich diagonally into two or four triangles.
   • Serve immediately with extra green chutney or tomato ketchup on the side.
