Fusion Kebab Sandwiches

This Decadent Shami Kebab Sandwich is an Explosion of Flavor and Texture

— March 17, 2015 — Lifestyle
This juicy and succulent shami kebab sandwich is arguably the star attraction available at Sandwichworkz, a trendy new sandwich joint located in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad.

India has a very rich and diverse cuisine, and it turns out that many gourmet Indian staples lend themselves well to the premium sandwich. One such dish is the shami kebab. A popular feasting dish served at weddings and religious celebrations, these kebabs are made out of chicken, chickpea and whole spices including black pepper, cinnamon, cloves and bay leaves in addition to fresh garlic and ginger.

These rich flavors lend themselves exceedingly well to a gourmet sandwich, with the additional bonus being that you don't need any condiments or ingredients because of the sheer number of contrasting flavors in the sandwich itself.

While being relatively simple in appearance, make no mistake -- the shami kebab sandwich is a gluttonous foodie's meal.
