Russian Sandwich, also known as a Russian Salad Sandwich, is a classic and popular sandwich filling that combines creamy Russian salad with bread to create a delicious and satisfying snack or meal.

To make a Russian Sandwich, you’ll first prepare the Russian salad filling. Russian salad typically includes diced boiled potatoes, boiled carrots, peas, and sometimes boiled eggs, all mixed together with mayonnaise or a creamy dressing. Other variations may include diced apples, pickles, or corn kernels.

Once the Russian salad filling is ready, you can assemble the sandwich. Take slices of white bread or whole wheat bread and spread a generous amount of butter or mayonnaise on one side of each slice.

Place a thick layer of the Russian salad filling on one slice of bread. Optionally, you can add extra toppings such as lettuce leaves, cucumber slices, or tomato slices for added freshness.

Top the filling with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. Press gently to ensure the sandwich holds together.

Russian Sandwiches are often enjoyed as a quick and tasty lunch or snack. They can be served cold or lightly toasted in a sandwich press for a warm and comforting treat.

Vada Pav

Vada pav is one of Mumbai’s favorite sandwiches, its name referring to the key ingredients: vada, or spicy mashed potatoes that are deep-fried in chickpea batter, and pav, or white bread rolls. This iconic street food is said to have originated from a street vendor named Ashok Vaidya, who worked near the Dadar train station in the 1960s and 1970s.

He thought of a way to satiate the hungry workers, and concluded that the ideal dish should be portable, affordable, and easy to prepare. Ashok made vada pav, and its popularity skyrocketed, especially after the Shiv Sena, a Marathi-Hindu nationalist political party, started to promote the sandwich as an ideal working-class snack.

Today, the sandwich is sold throughout Mumbai, both on street stands and in elegant restaurants, ideally accompanied by a hot red chutney with coconut, peanuts, garlic, tamarind, and chiles.
