Yummy Sandwich

Masala Toast Sandwich

My recipe deals with Mumbai Street Food, apna Toast Sandwich. My version of toast sandwich is solely my creation. What I mean to say is, I don’t think anywhere you would have felt this kind of taste in a toast sandwich. My family loves this version and so here it goes,

Ingredients

BREAD	1 medium sized packet
POTATO	7-8 medium sized
CORIANDER LEAVES	2 tbsp (table spoon)*
CHILLI & GINGER PASTE *	2 tbsp
TOMATO	1 medium sized
GREEN CHUTNEY *	1 cup
For Dry Masala
HALDI POWDER	1 tsp (tea spoon)*
CORIANDER-CUMIN POWDER (dhaniya jeera powder)	1 tsp
RED CHILLI POWDER	½ tsp
PAV BHAJI MASALA (the secret ingredient)	1 tbsp
SALT	To Taste
OIL (for tempering)
GHEE ( for roasting)

Pre – preparation

      Boil & mash potatoes

      Cut tomatoes into small pieces

      Chop coriander leaves

Preparation

      Add haldi, coriander-cumin, red chilli powders & salt to mashed potatoes.

      Add chopped coriander leaves & chilli-ginger paste in the mashed masala.

      Now, heat oil. Add tomatoes and pinch of salt for the tomato portion since we have added salt in mixture.

      Let the tomatoes soften a bit. Add pav bhaji masala to the tomatoes. Add potato mixture immediately and mix properly so that all the pav bhaji masala gets coated in the potato mixture.

      Turn of the gas and mix well again after removing the contents in a plate.

Assembling

      Take 2 pieces of bread. Put green chutney in one slice 

      And the potato mixture on the other bread.*

     

      Heat tawa.* Keep the sandwich on the tawa for roasting. Apply ghee when the bread is half roasted. The ghee will leave a nice aroma.

      

      After it is roasted on both sides, take sandwich in a plate. 

      Cut into triangle shape with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.

      Apply butter when hot.

     

         Serve hot with chutney, ketchup or anything you like.

      I prefer with cup of tea as below ;)

Notes for items marked as star (*)

•       I don’t really use ACTUAL teaspoon and table spoon measurements available in market. I use a big spoon for tablespoon and a small spoon for teaspoon. The measurements will come approximate but still it will taste as good as it is seen in the pic J
•       Chilli-Ginger paste we keep at home as we use in many items. You can grind it fresh by taken 2 spicy chillies and small piece of ginger and mash in a mixer. The paste should be coarse.
•       Green chutney was prepared by using 1 bunch of coriander leaves. 1-2 spicy green chili, a bit of ginger, salt to taste, jeera – 1 tsp, and roasted peanuts 2 tsp.
•       I put only masala in the bread, but if you want to eat typical Mumbai street sandwich, then you will have to add some sliced onions, capsicum.
•       I had prepared on tawa because I love it that way. But mostly it is prepared in toaster.
