Hi Nupur,<BR/><BR/>I disagree! These are not Indian Railway sandwiches. For that you have to toast the bread on a tava or fry pan- tava toast- and then copiously butter them either with melted butter, or let them get cold and hard, and then butter then with cold butter :) It does make a difference- the smoky tava taste and then either the gheeish quality or the cold Amul-buttery quality. <BR/><BR

I discovered your blog recently, and since you're working hard on your thesis, am reading your archives... and find myself commenting all the time! The Indian Railways omelet sent me on a nostalgia trip too. <BR/><BR/>I have one other addition to make... the tomato soup!

Nupur: I am TOTALLY with you on the omlet sandwich. No matter what people say, they ROCK. They are so good. I closely affiliate myself with train journeys in India and I've done an enormous share of traveling via train journeys. Can't wait to start again; living in the silicon valley and US in general blocks my train expedetions now. anyway, thanks for the recipe.

Sounds okay until you actually live through an Indian railways journey. The last time I tried, I got served cockroaches with the upma from the pantry car on board. The railways canteens are filty, the food is abysmal and generally everything sucks beyond belief. You'd be lucky to not end up with cholera. Good that you live in the states, else you wouldn't be romanticising the food you get on

Hey Saikat ol' boy, Thanks for stopping by :) and I hope you keep visiting ( and mail me man, how ARE you doing ?)<BR/><BR/>Hey Anya, I know the Pune-Bombay trains never put tomato in their sandwiches...the tomato represents my efforts to get the government-mandated 5-a-day :)

though the pune-bombay train sandwiches never had slices of tomatoes in them me thinks.

Hi Anthony, I'm glad you like these...they take all of 10 minutes to put together too, and the butter keeps the bread from getting soggy so they stay well as a packed lunch.<BR/> <BR/>Hi Shyam, I LOVE that green chutney. I make sandwiches with the chutney and a sliced tomato/cucumner filling.

I've had these with green chutney spread on the bread - coriander and green chilli chutney, I think, in India. Was that HOT or what!!!
