Jump to Recipe

Bombay Grilled Sandwich is Indian street food made with chutney, butter, veggies, cheese, and chat masala.
Bombay Grilled Sandwich

Indian Street Food is pure comfort. A Bombay Grilled Sandwich is a must when it comes to street food. 

What is Bombay Grilled Sandwich?

A Bombay Vegetable Sandwich is made with potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, cheese, and chat masala. On occasion, I’ve seen the addition of beets on these sandwiches. 

Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

YES! 

for vegan: Replace the butter and cheese with vegan butter and vegan cheese. Alternatively, you may skip the cheese completely and use oil in place of butter.

for gluten-free: Use gluten-free bread instead of regular sourdough bread.

Grilled Bombay Sandwich vs. No Grill

I like to grill my Bombay Sandwich, however you have the option to not grill the sandwich. If you choose do not grill it, make sure you use a soft white bread instead of sourdough.

Tips on making Bombay Grilled Sandwich:

  • Make sure you boil the potatoes. You can microwave the potatoes, but boiling them tastes better.
  • Thinly slice the potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions.
  • You can use either chat masala or sandwich masala in this recipe.
  • You do need a generous amount of butter when making a Bombay Sandwich.
  • Be sure to use either sourdough bread or a classic white sandwich bread for this recipe.
  • Grill each side of the sandwich for 5 minutes on low heat.
  • Cut sandwich into fours. Serve with ketchup or red chili sauce.

    So simple to put together especially if you use have frozen cilantro chutney ready to use. The sourdough bread makes a lot of difference in the recipe. We already had this for two meals in the day.

    This recipe was AMAZING and so easy to put together! I even opted out of the butter and potato for a healthier option and to save time on a quick work day lunch, and it tasted great; so, I can only imagine how yummy it must be with all the fixens 🙂 Will definitely be making this again for lunch!

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
