Questions people ask about Bombay Masala Sandwich

How long does Bombay Masala Sandwich take?

About 15 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

What can I use instead of bread in Bombay Masala Sandwich?

Use any loaf that is a day old. Fresh bread turns to paste in most of these.

Can I make Bombay Masala Sandwich ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.

Is Bombay Masala Sandwich vegetarian?

Yes, it is vegetarian. It is not vegan as written because it contains dairy; swap the dairy for a plant alternative and the rest of the method is unchanged.

What do you serve with Bombay Masala Sandwich?

Roti or plain rice, with something sharp on the side: curd, pickle or sliced onion. It serves two as written. Double everything to feed four, but use a wider pan so the food still browns rather than steams.
