One of my mom’s favorite lazy weeknight meals was a Bombay Sandwich. Bombay sandwiches are not only a popular street food but also a delicious meal! Traditional Bombay sandwiches are filled with boiled potatoes, beets, tomatoes, onion, and a generous spread of green chutney. Growing up mom always used Country Crock® Original since it’s spreadable straight from the fridge and it helps prevent the chutney from making your bread soggy!
To bring this sandwich over to California, I added some avocados, sprouts, and a touch of lemon. The sprouts really give this sandwich a fresh feel since most of the ingredients are cooked like the beets and potato.
The major flavor factor in this Bombay sandwich is the chaat masala. Chaat masala is a mixture of spices like cumin, coriander, dried mango, black salt, and more. It adds a spicy, tangy, salty flavor to this sandwich which is balanced with sweetness from the beets, sourness from the lemon, and richness from the Country Crock® Original.
