What is Mumbai Samosa Sandwich?

This iconic Samosa Sandwich is believed to be first made in 1973 by a Person named Raju Hegde, the founder of Raju Sandwich Wala.

This popular Samosa Sandwich is generally made with white bread which is slathered with soft butter, then topped with green chutney, flattened samosa, sliced onion, green bell pepper, chaat masala, date chutney, and topped with a bread coated with butter and green chutney. This sandwich is then grilled till crisp. Super tasty snack which is enjoyed by many to satisfy their 4 pm hungry spans.

In today’s recipe, I am going to use the spicy potato filling which goes inside the samosa, not the samosa itself. Its tastes just like the Samosa Sandwich, but with out the deep frying.

While you can use any bread, I am going to use sour dough bread. Its gives a nice crunch and bite to the sandwich.

Of course some cheese to bind everything together.

The same Samosa filling can be used to make Crescent Samosa.

Notes

Traditionally the fennel and coriander are coarsely ground. But we like it powdered. 
The coriander chutney is one of the key components of this sandwich. Make it spicy, it really goes well with the bread and cheese.
You can us grated cheese or cheese slices of your choice.
