A Bombay sandwich is held together by green chutney, and without the bright condiment smeared on its insides, a Bombay sandwich isn’t worth its bread. Anand Stall’s chutney is so compelling, we’d pay top rupee for the recipe. At this hectic street kiosk near Mithibai College, students and old loyalists huddle to pay for the sandwich tokens needed to place an order. Everyone ignores the dusty blare of traffic, and the sewer nearby, since their classic Mumbai snack is just that addictive. Ridiculously fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions are thinly sliced to order, then stacked with discs of boiled potato, and chaat masala on buttered, chutney-ed slices of local Wibs bread (the only brand the best sandwichwallas will use). They’ll pack your sandwich in foil, so you can dash to a car or a quiet, less offensive lane off the main street. This must be eaten fresh for max fun.
