Print Recipe

This Bombay Grilled Sandwich packs layers of spiced veggies, melted cheese, and tangy chutney between buttery, crisped sourdough slices — a true taste of Mumbai street food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter per sandwich, with extra as needed
  • 4 tsp cilantro chutney per sandwich
  • 2 russet potatoes, boiled and thinly sliced
  • 2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 medium red onion, finely sliced
  • 2 cups grated Mexican white cheese 
  • Chaat masala, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, then let them cool. Peel and cut into thin slices.
  2. Prepare the cilantro chutney if making from scratch.
  3. Slice the tomatoes, cucumber, and onions thinly and set aside.
  4. Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
  5. Over the buttered side, spread a generous amount of cilantro chutney.
  6. Layer one slice with potato rounds and sprinkle a bit of chaat masala over them.
  7. Add tomato slices, followed by a handful of grated cheese and another light sprinkle of chaat masala.
  8. Continue layering with cucumber and onion slices, adding more chaat masala if desired.
  9. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered and chutney side in.
  10. Preheat a cast iron skillet over low heat for 5 minutes.
  11. Place the sandwich on the skillet, butter the top or lightly spray with avocado oil, and cook for 5 minutes.
  12. Flip the sandwich, butter the new top side, and grill another 5 minutes.
  13. Flip once more and cook an additional 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  14. Remove from heat and slice in half or quarters before serving.

Notes

  • Boiling the potatoes instead of microwaving gives a creamier texture.
  • Use thin vegetable slices to prevent the sandwich from falling apart.
  • Chaat masala or sandwich masala both work well in this recipe.
  • Use plenty of butter for a crisp, golden crust.
  • Cut sandwiches into smaller portions for serving with ketchup or chili sauce.
