Bombay sandwich · Mumbai
White-bread sandwich with cucumber, tomato, boiled potato, beetroot and green chutney. Sometimes grilled with butter and cheese. Editor's TableJourney pick.
The Bombay sandwich emerged in the late 20th century as a Mumbai office-lunch and tea-time staple, especially around Fort, Nariman Point and Churchgate. Street vendors and cafes assemble it the same way every time: white bread, green chutney, cucumber, tomato, boiled potato slices and beetroot. The grilled version adds cheese and goes on a hot toastie press; both versions sell year-round at every street tea-stall.
