Sandwiches are very common street food in major metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai etc and each city has it’s own taste & preference. If you will go in Mumbai, then you will come to know that how popular Bombay sandwich is. It has it’s own specialty. You have never tasted such sandwich, whereas sandwiches available at road side stalls in Delhi have different taste. Mostly you will find aloo tikki sandwiches in Delhi street food stalls. So here you can try carrot sandwich or gajar tikki sandwich which is different and very tasty too.
Carrot sandwich is crunchy outside & soft inside. It is spicy, buttery but healthy too. Carrot, cucumber, onion, tomatoes are used to make carrot sandwich.
Sandwich maker will definitely help you to make this more convenient way but if you do not have sandwich maker then nothing to worry because you can make carrot sandwich without sandwich maker too.
