The Bombay sandwich, or cheese toastie, is a testament to the ingenious spirit of Indian street food culture, where street vendors take something foreign and transform it into a uniquely Indian creation, packed with spices and local flair, in such a way that you’d never imagine it existed in any other form previously.
Every street corner boasts a hawker grilling these sandwiches in camping toastie-makers over coal-fired stoves, each with their signature chutney or filling. One bite of these and you’ll never settle for a plain cheese toastie again.
