Mumbai masala toast- a crisp potato and vegetable sandwich from the streets of Mumbai
Grilled Mumbai Toast Sandwich, or Aloo Masala Toast Sandwich, is among the most popular and delicious Indian-style sandwiches. Mumbai is popular for its variety of sandwiches. You can find so many stalls and street vendors selling fresh, crisp and delicious sandwiches from morning till night. Toasted, grilled and fresh bread chutney sandwiches are sold at reasonable prices.
This is a very popular street food in Mumbai. You can find these stalls everywhere, especially near railway stations, colleges, office complexes and markets. It is made by stuffing the bread with a flavorful and spicy boiled and mashed potato mixture, and this mixture is the key ingredient of the sandwich. The mixture is quite similar to the batata vada stuffing. A spicy and tangy chutney is also a must to add to these sandwiches. It is also popular as Mumbai Masala Toast and Aloo Masala Sandwich.
To make this sandwich, you can use an electric sandwich maker or make it on a simple handheld stovetop toaster, like the street vendors do. Sandwiches cooked on a stove or gas stove have a nice roasted flavor, but you can also make them on a regular tawa or grill pan, whatever is easily available.
