Veg Tikki Sandwich
Aloo tikki in sandwich bread with chutneys.
Bombay Sandwich & Grilled Sandwich
Triple Decker Sandwich
A triple decker holds two different fillings apart with one double-buttered middle slice, quartered on a Mumbai cart where more layers means a higher price on the board.
Tandoori Paneer Sandwich
The tandoori paneer sandwich folds skewer-charred tikka cheese into bread and lets a marinade built for the tandoor do the work. Char it dry to a lacquer or the bread carries only warm cheese.
Tandoori Chicken Sandwich
Chopped tandoori chicken, bound with mint mayo or hung curd, in sliced loaf or a baked sub roll, sold from Indian sub counters, cafes and grill stalls.

Paneer Chilli Sandwich
Indo-Chinese chilli paneer, the wok reduced dry until the cubes glaze, pressed hot into buttered white bread with capsicum and onion still crunching.
Paneer Bhurji Sandwich
Paneer bhurji cooked dry enough to hold a press: crumbled cheese scrambled with onion, tomato, and chilli, sealed between slices with a grated-cheese binder, griddled until the crust cracks.
Noodle Sandwich
Dry schezwan Hakka noodles pressed between buttered white bread, but for most of India the noodle is Maggi, the two-minute packet Nestlé launched in 1983 and the country nearly lost to a 2015 ban.
Mushroom Sandwich
White button mushrooms cooked down with onion and chilli, topped with cheese, then pressed in buttered bread until the crust cracks. An Indian cafe and cart snack.

Masala Toast
The clang gives it away before the smell does: a blackened hinged iron press over a footpath cart, spiced potato and green chutney clamped inside and charred over coals. The press makes it.

Veg manchurian (fried vegetable balls in spicy sauce) in sandwich.
Malai Chaap Sandwich
Soya chaap (textured soy protein) in creamy marinade, grilled, in sandwich.
Hyderabadi Sandwich
Hyderabad's grilled vegetable sandwich re-seasons the Mumbai chutney-and-potato build to a Deccani palate: chili worked into the potato mash, the green chutney pounded hotter, the heat made to climb.
Grilled Sandwich
Green chutney inside, butter outside, a hand iron over gas: the Indian cart sandwich that grew out of a cold Bombay mill-worker lunch in the 1960s.
Gobi Manchurian Sandwich
Cauliflower manchurian in sandwich.
