This spicy, crunchy sandwich is one of Mumbai's most popular street food snacks, from the famed 'Karma Food Currys'.
If any dish deserves the title "Mumbai's most famous street food snack", it's this one: soft slices of white bread spread with spicy herb sauce and potato paste, topped with fresh tomatoes and onions and fried in butter until golden brown. Best of all, the Bombay sandwich hides a liquid mozzarella centre that melts hearts.

The Bombay Sandwich is a good example of how Indian cuisine is not afraid to evolve. On the contrary, it adapts multicultural influences and interprets them in its very own way.
