Bombay Sandwich

Flavorful and Fun!

Have you tried a ‘Bombay sandwich’?

It’s a special street food

Not as popular as the “vada pao”

But tastes just as good!

Soft slices of bread are adorned

With the flavorful green spread.

Chopped tomatoes, crispy cucumbers

With onions are laid on this bed.

Their texture and tastes combined

Bring wonderful variety.

Tender boiled potato pieces layered atop

To offer warmth and satiety

No toasting, no grilling

No cheese or culinary wizardry required.

This lip-smacking easy delight

Is ready whenever you are inspired.

Fair Warning: Attempting these posts WILL make you hungry!

Full disclosure: As the ‘Incomplete’ below picture suggests, I devoured one after I wrote this. (okay, I confess, as I wrote this.) And hence, the requirement for using the free image at the outset! What’s shown above is actually a vada pav, and a fusion one at that! (with a dabeli, another popular street snack but not native to Mumbai.) But Bombay sandwiches are the best- quick easy, healthy, encompassing a riot of flavors that can be whipped up and consumed anywhere, anytime, by anyone!
