Why I love this chickpea sandwich
I am a big sandwich girl. I love sandwiches <3 especially sandwiches made with multi-grain breads 🙂
My mom used to make Indian masala sandwiches a lot when I was a kid as my brother and I were a big fan of sandwiches. I am a small-town girl where bread, yeast, and baking powder were difficult to find. But my parents would still manage to get those ingredients for us whenever possible.
Coming back to the present day, eventually, my taste developed, and I started making sandwiches frequently(easy access to ingredients) and started using different sandwich stuffing combinations.
This summer chickpea sandwich is my current favorite<3. It is made with basic ingredients like chickpeas, mayonnaise, spices, vegetables, and bread.
