Sandwich masala recipe – It makes the sandwich more tasty.

Sandwich masala powder in a bowl and sandwich in the back.

I am making this sandwich masala powder at home since past 4 years. Earlier I was making sandwiches without this masala and it was tasting good. But after sprinkling this masala into the sandwich, it tastes better, much much better. So from then I am in love with this masala. I never make any sandwich without this masala.

I have already shared this recipe in my veg grilled sandwich recipe. But I wanted to make the separate post for it. So I can show my love for it. It is must for me. And you should give it a try.

I got this recipe from Tarla Dalal’s cookbook Mumbai’s Roadside Snacks.

Shelf life: It stays fresh for 7-8 months in airtight container at room temperature. Always use clean spoon (not wet) to get the powder out of the jar. Otherwise it reduces the shelf life.

Serving suggestion: It is used while make sandwiches like grilled sandwich, masala toast sandwich. Just sprinkle a little bit of masala inside the sandwich, it tastes fabulous.
