Dosa sandwichesWho told you that the good-old South Indian breakfast can only be coupled with chutney and sambar?

Beetroot mayo SandwichYou may despise this vegetable in a curry and may want to skip dinner when its being cooked at home, but wait, have you tried it with mayonnaise?
Nestled between warm brown bread, it’s a delicious and, we’d like to believe, healthy combination.

This item is a speciality at King Sandwich, Kodambakkam.
Ice-cream sandwichIf you are thinking of a sorry scoop of ice-cream trapped between two slices of bread, you cannot be more off the mark.
Instead, its two wo large scoops of your favourite flavour of ice-cream between toasted bread.
The dessert melts just as you take your first bite — gooey, delicious and a wonderful mess we don’t mind.

Sandwich Square, T Nagar.
Pasta paneer sandwichWhen you taste this for the first time, you will wonder why you never thought of making this at home. The richness of the white sauce pasta and the softness of paneer lend the sandwich an incredible texture. Savour the taste of all the cheese and mayonnaise.
