Discover the vibrant flavors of Mumbai with our Bombay Veg Sandwich, featuring fresh cilantro-mint chutney, crisp vegetables, and a deliciously toasted finish. Perfect for a quick, healthy, and satisfying meal!
I make this sandwich ALL THE TIME! Who doesn't like a summer grilled chicken and lemon sandwich. The key is to let chicken marinate in lemon juice and salt pepper for a few hours.

Korma means to braise meat in ghee or oil. There are many kinds of Korma curries in India, and all of them involve using nuts (either almonds, or pistachios, or cashews).
