Mumbai Street Sandwich

For making special spicy sandwich chutney

Ingredients:
• Fresh Coriander leaves 1 big bunch
• Fresh Spinach 6-7 leaves (blanched)
• Green chillies 10-12 nos.
• Sandwich masala 1 tsp / to taste
• Garlic 4-5 cloves
• Roasted chana dal 1 tbsp
• Fresh Curry leaves 10-12 nos.
• Water very little 

Methods:
• Wash the coriander leaves well and transfer it to the grinding jar, you can also choose to use coriander stems as they too are full of flavours, add blanched spinach leaves, 

green chillies, garlic, curry leaves and roasted chana dal, grind well into a fine paste, adjust the consistency by adding water, but use as less water as possible.

• Make sure the chutney should be thick enough to apply on the bread. Your chutney is ready to be used as a spread on your sandwich, you can also store it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for couple of days.

• You must have noticed the quantity of chillies used is too much for making this special spicy sandwich chutney, but this gives the special character to the sandwich, reason being, there’s lot of moisture in the chutney so the chefs and the street vendors just apply it little bit so the sandwich gets its spicy taste and they don’t have to apply too much which apparently makes the bread soggy. 

Tip: street vendors use breadcrumbs to thicken the chutney, but as we are making this back at home chana dal is a perfect substitute to thicken the chutney. If you wish to add breads to it, you can add one bread slice to make it thick.

Special sandwich masala
Ingredients:
• Whole spices
1. Jeera (cumin seeds) 2 tbsp
2. Cloves 2 tsp
3. Peppercorns 1 tbsp
4. Fennel seeds 1 tbsp
• Powdered spices
1. Amchur powder 1 tbsp
2. Anardana powder 1 tbsp
3. Ginger powder ½ tsp
4. Hing ½ tsp
5. Black salt 1 tbsp
• Salt 2.5 tbsp

Methods:
• Set a pan on medium heat, add the whole spice and anardana powder, dry roast them until fragrant, take it off from the gas and allow it to cool down. 

• Transfer the roasted spices to a grinding jar, further add the powdered spices and salt, grind it well into a fine powder.

• Your special sandwich masala is ready, use it accordingly and store it in an airtight container in a cool and dry place. 

• Please do make this masala to give your sandwich it’s distinct flavour, as the vegetables are bland in taste and this special sandwich masala has more of salt content which balances the flavour, if you do not wish to stretch the process of making this you can simply add 2 parts of chaat masala and 1 part of salt, this will do the work.

Assembly of sandwich
Ingredients:
• Bread slices as required
• Special spicy sandwich chutney as required
• Soften butter as required (kept outside for couple of hours)

• Special sandwich masala as required
• Vegetables:
1. Potatoes (boiled & sliced)
2. Beetroot (boiled & sliced)
3. Onions (sliced)
4. Tomatoes (sliced)
5. Cucumber (sliced)

Methods:
• Take 2 sandwich bread slice, you can prefer any sandwich bread, it could be brown bread, multigrain bread, I’ll be using a white sandwich bread, as I’m making it pure Bombay street style sandwich, so we’ll start by trimming of the corners & edges on all four sides and apply sufficient amount of butter and then apply chutney on it, do not apply the chutney first as the bread will become soggy.

• Place the sliced vegetables and sprinkle a pinch of special sandwich masala after every slice or may at the last as you preference.

• Place another bread slice that we applied butter & chutney and close it to make a sandwich, cut into 2 pieces, or 4 or 6, you cut in triangle or squares as you prefer, but again this is pure Bombay street style sandwich so ill cut in six pieces. 

• Spread little butter on top and some chutney to give the look and feel of street style sandwich Serve it immediately.

• You can also choose to toast them by tweaking it a little bit, you don’t need to trim the edges and instead of cucumber you can choose to add capsicum or tweak the addition of veggies according to your taste preference, the assembly of sandwich remains the same.

• Toast the sandwich in the street style toaster or you can also toast them on pan by applying butter. Toast it on both the sides until crisp and golden brown. Toast as many as you wish to.

• Your sandwich is ready, cut into your preferred shape and serve immediately by apply little butter and serve with ketchup, green chutney or any dip of your choice
