Bombay Sandwich Recipe – Right from the Streets of Bombay now called Mumbai
Bombay sandwich is an integral part of the Mumbai street food scene as are the likes of bhel puri, batata vada, vada pav, pani puri etc. The sandwich is definitely filling. It is since it uses a jumbo bread and is packed with butter, cheese, chutney and vegetables.
