Mumbaikars love their sandwiches. More precisely, they enjoy the classic Bombay Sandwich, Chilli Toast and even the humble Chutney Sandwich. One can’t compete with any of these variations, but there is a lot more that one can do if you love sandwiches, according to Indian chefs. They are in the thick of it not only in the city but also neighbouring states. The timing couldn’t be any perfect because the city is experiencing a burst in cafes and restaurants serving'sandos’, Japanese versions of sandwiches, or even ‘croiwiches'—a version where the croissant is slit to act as the slices between which delicious fillings are served and stuffed to make gourmet sandwiches.
