The origin of this iconic street food called BOMBAY SANDWICH happened in India's most famous Bollywood city- Bombay now known as Mumbai. Flavored Mash potatoes, some veggies, cheese and spicy chutney put together between two generously buttered white bread....just yummmyyy. It's the most easiest snack anyone can put together in no time and its just perfect for anytime of the day. Almost every Indian food blogger has their version of this treat which is a wholesome meal in the form of a snack, so how can I be left behind.
