Sandwiches are one of the most understated dishes from our culinary memories. From school dabbas, to hurried college breaks, in the many train rides across the city and on a gourmet restaurant’s menu, the sandwich has been with us through it all. With International Sandwich Day being celebrated tomorrow, we fondly celebrate Mumbai’s contribution to this universal snack — the classic Bombay sandwich. A medley of fresh veggies on toast, slathered with butter and chutney, the Bombay sandwich has been the ultimate hunger saviour for us in more ways than one. City-based home chef Aaron D’Souza lists out an easy Bombay sandwich recipe for you to try at home.
