This double layered potato sandwich is made with intensely decadent layers of mashed vegetables and potatoes slid in between three bread slices. To make the masala filing, you would need to make a spicy mishmash of aloo, chopped capsicum, bellpeppers, onions and tomatoes. Mix them up well with hot spices and masalas, and use them as a spread for your sandwich, but before that do not forget to roast your bread slices on a tawa over a generous dollop of butter! There, we saw you slurping.
