Andhra-style Spicy Salami Sandwich

Ingredients

In this Andhra-style adaptation, we replace the traditional Spanish bread with a soft and fluffy Andhra-style bun called "pav." The original bocadillo typically uses mild salami, but we amp up the heat by using spicy salami. Additionally, we incorporate Andhra-style chutney and tamarind sauce to infuse the sandwich with the bold flavors of Andhra cuisine.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Spicy Salami — If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use regular salami instead of spicy salami.
• Andhra-style chutney — Adjust the spiciness of the chutney according to your taste preferences. You can add more green chilies for extra heat or reduce the amount for a milder version.
• Tamarind sauce — If you don't have tamarind sauce, you can substitute it with a mixture of tamarind pulp and water.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, lightly toast the pav buns before assembling the sandwich.
• Customize the sandwich by adding your favorite Andhra-style pickles or chutneys.
• If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can replace the salami with grilled paneer or tofu.
