Mumbai Style Toast Sandwich
Mumbai Style Toast Sandwich is an iconic and beloved street food from the bustling lanes of Mumbai, known for its simplicity and satisfying flavors. This sandwich consists of a spiced vegetable mixture, typically including boiled potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and beets, layered between thinly sliced bread. The defining feature is its preparation: the assembled sandwich is lightly toasted on a griddle with a generous amount of butter, resulting in a warm, crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful interior. It is traditionally served with a side of tangy green chutney and a sprinkle of chaat masala, making it a quick, affordable, and utterly comforting snack
