ALOO MASALA SANDWICH

Aloo masala sandwiches are very easy to make and my families favourite too. To make these sandwiches with a spiced potato stuffing is very easy. All you need are some boiled potatoes, spices, butter and bread.

Use any bread which you like or prefer for making these sandwiches. A day old bread is also fine. I took white sandwich bread for these sandwiches. These sandwiches  tastes like typical street food, I make them often at home. I used to watch the street food vendors carefully, while they used to dish out the delectable snacks one after the other.

Sandwiches are very popular street food among the people. You will find a sandwich stall near every almost college, near railway stations, in markets, etc. My mom also used to make sandwiches at home. I followed my mom’s recipe only and love it.

This recipe is for masala toast sandwich. Here the masala is made from boiled and mashed potatoes which are tempered with spices. Easy to make, especially if you have leftover boiled or mashed potatoes. The sandwiches are spiced up with green chutney and chaat masala.

3-4 Medium Potatoes[ boiled and mashed]

1-2 Medium Sized Onions

3-4 Green Chillies

STEP 7 – Finally add chopped coriander and let it become warm or cool at room temperature.

Prepping, assembling and preparing the sandwiches:

STEP 2 – Spread green chutney over the slices.

STEP 3 – Spread potato masala filling on the bread slices. Sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala powder over it.

STEP 4 – Cover with the other slice of bread on which you have spread butter and chutney.
