Making a Bombay Sandwich with Protein Pantry's Sweet Potato Tikki
This recipe serves 1, meaning 2 sandwiches made with 4 tikkis. The sandwich is one of the easier recipes on deck and doesn’t require much in the way of careful preparation or cooking. The Bombay Sandwich will need the 4 Sweet Potato Tikkis as well as a small portion of Green Chutney, just to add the signature Bombay flavour we’ve come to expect from our favourite street snack.
For Assembly:
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 4 sweet potato tikkis (100 g)
- ½ cucumber – thinly sliced
- ½ tomato – thinly sliced
- ½ boiled beetroot – sliced
- ½ small boiled potato – sliced (optional)

Method:
Step 1: To start things off, we’re going to prepare the Green Chutney. For this, simply blend all the aforementioned ingredients in a blender or mixer until it is smooth.
Step 2: Next, we are going to lightly spread some butter and Green Chutney over the slices of bread. This will be followed by layering the cucumber and tomato on one slice each.
Step 3: Place 2 Sweet Potato Tikkis on one slice, and optionally, you can choose to sprinkle in some chaat masala and pepper to add a little bit of a kick to the Sandwich. Finally, simply cover the last bread slice and cut diagonally to serve.
