India has a big culture of snacks. This handheld sandwich maker is something every Indian has seen either at a street side vendor or at home. “It is not any ordinary sandwich maker”, Gandharv exclaims, “it is a small device that takes white bread and turns it into a pocket of awesomeness filled with spiced potatoes used for making samosas and tikkis. We all grew up on them as children so there is definitely nostalgia attached to it”. 

 

This stove top sandwich maker Gandharv uses a lot during camping. In an excited tone he explains how the clever design adds to the making of this sandwich, “it tapers on the sides in such a way that the bread gets sealed on the edges and packs all the insides like a pocket. Being a stove top device, you also get a charred outside and since the edges are pressed down to seal, it also gets crispier on the edges”. It is specifically designed for square small sandwich bread as that is the most commonly found sliced bread in India.
