Who doesn’t like sandwich? Simple but various way to get awesomeness between two slices of bread.
My friend had invited me & family to her house for lunch, and she had made veggie grilled sandwiches & soup. This sandwich was so tasty and amazing, it reminded me of the street sandwich of India. So off course, I couldn’t help but asked what was in it. When she mentioned all the ingredients, I knew I had to make this sandwich. Now, my husband and I made this sandwich so many times, each time trying something different for taste twist, but finally settled on this recipe, which makes a yummy sandwich for taste buds.
In India, street food is very popular. Among the many street food varieties, there is endless list of different sandwiches to choose from. This Veggie Grilled Sandwich is one of my favorites. The street vendors take pride in offering the most tongue-tickling treats of all, and this sandwich is no different.
A loaded and delicious vegetable grilled sandwich recipe, which is both healthy and tasty. This sandwich is made with many different variations when it comes to choosing the vegetable options. I used some of the common vegetable for this recipe, like cucumber, onion, capsicum, carrot, and beetroot. Also, the addition of the fresh green chutney and Amul cheese makes this sandwich truly delicious. It’s an exceptionally easy vegetable sandwich recipe that can be made in just 15-20 minutes. The sandwich is so simple, and very tasty, so you can enjoy anytime of the day.
Hope you prepare and enjoy this recipe. I will add the recipe for the cilantro and mint chutney soon.
Veggie Grilled Sandwich (Bombay Street Style)
Ingredients
- 24 Bread Slices (Fresh Sourdough or Home Style White) yields 12 sandwiches

- 1 Cucumber finely chopped
- 1 Beetroot finely chopped
- 1 Onion finely chopped
- 1 Carrot finely chopped
- 1 Capsicum/Bell Pepper finely chopped

- 4 Tbsp Tomato Ketchup or tomato hot and sweet ketchup
- 1 Tsp Red Chili Powder
- ½ Tsp Black Pepper
- ½ Tsp Cumin Powder
- 1 Tsp Black Salt optional
- ½ Tsp Salt or per taste
Instructions
- First, finely chop all the vegetable and place into a bowl, all together. Next, grate the cheese at this point and keep aside.
- In a bowl of all chopped vegetables (beetroot, cucumber, onion, carrot, and capsicum/bell pepper), add red chili powder, cumin powder, black pepper, ketchup, black salt, and salt. Mix well until combined.
- Next, take two bread slices and on one slice spread the butter.
- And on the other spread the cilantro/mint chutney.
- Now, add the veggie mixture on the buttered slice of bread. Spread evenly to form a layer.
- Add the grated cheese on top of the veggie mixture and close the sandwich with the other bread slice that’s smeared with chutney.
- Place the sandwich in a sandwich/panini maker and grill it for approximately 5 minutes or until preferred grilled color/texture appears.
- Once done, please the grilled sandwich on cutting board. Cut into slices and garnish some cheese on top.
- Serve with chutney or ketchup on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
- I used Amul Cheese which is popular indian cheese brand, and it taste really good with this kind of sandwiches. But you can substitute with Pepper Jack cheese to get similar taste.
- I used Maggie Hot & Sweet tomato ketchup which are sold in Indian grocery stores here in USA. But you can substitute with regular tomato ketchup.
- Bread quality is very important when making this sandwich. The sandwich will taste the best when used bread like sourdough, italian or home style white bread.
