Crunchy Indian-Style Sandwiches are inspired by the traditional Indian snack called papdi chaat, which is made with deep-fried dough wafers. In this recipe, the wafers are replaced by pappadams, a crispy Indian flatbread that is made from lentil flour and spices. The sandwich filling is a combination of cooked chicken, mango chutney, curry paste, chopped toasted peanuts, red pepper, spring onions, and cucumber slices. The result is a colorful and flavorful sandwich that is easy to prepare and pleasing to the palate.
