Ingredients

In this Anglo-Indian adaptation, the traditional Polish Boy sandwich is transformed by incorporating the vibrant flavors of Anglo-Indian cuisine. The original American dish is typically made with a grilled kielbasa sausage, topped with coleslaw, french fries, and barbecue sauce. In the Anglo-Indian version, the sausage is marinated in a blend of spices commonly used in Indian cooking, and the toppings are replaced with tangy pickles and a zesty yogurt sauce. This fusion of flavors creates a unique and exciting twist on the classic sandwich. We alse have the original recipe for Polish Boy, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Sausages — Choose high-quality sausages with a good balance of spices. If using bratwurst or kielbasa, make sure they are fully cooked before serving.
  • Yogurt — Use plain yogurt with a creamy texture for the sauce. Greek yogurt can also be used for a thicker consistency.
  • Pickles — Opt for tangy pickles with a bit of crunch to add a contrasting flavor and texture to the sandwich.

Tips & Tricks

  • Experiment with different types of sausages to find your favorite flavor combination.
  • If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add a pinch of chili powder or extra cayenne pepper to the spice rub.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausages with grilled paneer or tofu.
  • Serve the sandwich with a side of crispy sweet potato fries for a delicious twist.
  • Customize the yogurt sauce by adding chopped mint or cilantro for an extra burst of freshness.
