How to Make Potato Masala

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in the mustard seeds, curry leaves, and asafoetida and saute for 1 to 2 minutes just until the seeds begin to crackle.
Next, add the green chile and peas and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, stirring regularly.
To the skillet, add the cooked mashed potatoes and stir to combine well.
Then, add in the spices, mix well, and cook for another 2 minutes until aromatic, making sure to stir occasionally.
Add in the chopped coriander leaves, stir, then set aside to cool.

How to Assemble a Toasted Bombay Sandwich

Spread a generous amount of butter onto one side of the two slices of bread.
Next, spread on green chutney. Use a little or a lot depending upon your preferences.
Top one side of the bread with sliced onion, tomato, bell pepper slices, and beetroot slices.
Now, spread the potato masala on top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle the top of the potato masala with some cumin, chaat masala, and salt.
Next, add a slice of cheese and close the sandwich.
Melt butter in a small skillet, then toast each side of the bread for 1 to 2 minutes until just golden and crisp.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve with chutney or ketchup on the side.
