Mumbai is famous for its street food. The variety of street food you get here is amazing. How can you not love spicy Ragada Pattice, Batata Vada, Mumbai Vada Pav, Misal Pav, Pav Bhaji, Mumbai Masala Pav, Dahi Sev Puri Chaat
Mumbai Masala toast sandwich is what I make when I have leftover mashed potatoes. These toasties are different from regular grilled veggie toast, these are made in stove top toast maker. You can make the toast sandwich in a regular grill press, but I feel all the fun comes from the Stovetop toastie maker.

For making Mumbai Masala toast or sandwich, layers of vegetables and potato filling with spicy chutney are stacked between buttered slices of bread. The stack of bread is then toasted in a sandwich toaster which you can place over stove top and placed on direct flame which results in crispy and spicy Bombay masala toast.
Most of the roadside stalls in the Mumbai have their own version of Mumbai Masala toast with their special blend of sandwich masala, some of them even sprinkle chat masala. Vegetable filling is almost similar on most of the stalls, it’s the taste of Bombay sandwich masala and amount of butter used that makes the difference in terms of taste and texture.
Usually, the filling of masala toast includes boiled potato slices, tomato slices and onion slices along with special sandwich masala. But at some places, they do add paneer slice or two and capsicum along with cabbage. And that’s how it becomes Mumbai Veg Masala Toast.
There’s another variation of masala toast too, which is equally good but quite different in taste profile. I will be posting the recipe and video soon for that too.
