Points To Observe:

While making bread, add water sufficiently so that the bread is neither dense nor too soft. If less water is used bread would be dense and feels heavy. If more water is used bread would be too soft and crumbles.

Usually Bombay sandwiches are made using thin slices of vegetables. When we make sandwiches using vegetable slices and have a bite, the entire slice of the vegetable comes into mouth leaving the bread slices. So I have shredded the vegetables and used so that for every bite we get the vegetable mixture.

After removing the crusts of bread slices, chop the crusts into small pieces. To the chopped bread cubes add remaining grated cucumber, grated carrot, shredded tomato, salt, pepper, some chat chutney and some chat masala and mix well to coat evenly and serve as a tasty salad.

The chopped crusts may be toasted till dry and ground coarsely to get bread crumbs.
