grilled sandwich recipe with step by step photos – this is another easy & healthy veg grilled sandwich recipe that can be made for a quick breakfasts and brunch. the recipe is similar to the bombay veg sandwich recipe on the blog. its the grilling that makes the difference. this is also a mumbai street food. the name of bombay has been changed to mumbai.
in this post, i have shown the step by steps pics to make a really good grilled sandwich in an electric grill sandwich maker. you can follow this method to make any grilled sandwich. you can also use an open grill or use a stove top toaster to make these sandwiches.
grilling the veg sandwich makes the bread slices golden crisp and many people like it that way. i am personally fond of both the ways… toasting as well as grilling the sandwich. but my hubby is more fond of grilled sandwich. so its varies from person to person.
tips for making grilled sandwich recipe
- you can use fresh bread or even a day old bread. i have used brown bread here. you can use whole wheat bread, multi grain bread or just a good healthy sandwich loaf.
- the amount of vegetable toppings can be adjusted as per the size of the bread loaf.
- you can add vegetables of your choice in this sandwich to make it more healthy. you can easily add boiled beetroot, capsicum (bell pepper) in it.
- i have used coriander chutney in the sandwiches. you can use any green chutney of your choice like mint coriander chutney or even just plain mint chutney.
- you can prepare the coriander chutney and boil the potatoes a night before and then refrigerate them. so in the morning quick hours, you just need to slice the cucumber, tomatoes etc and assemble the sandwiches.
serve this veg grill sandwich with a green chutney or tomato ketchup.

Will the onion taste raw or cooked?
I get sore throat if I eat raw onions. that’s why..
