If you have been to India recently you may have tried a Bombay Sandwich - a plain sandwich or naan filled with cooling fresh salad and thickly spread with Bombay Sandwich Spread. Neither a chutney or a pickle this is a spread made entirely of fresh coriander and mint leaves spiked with green chilies and a hint of coconut. Fresh and modern this is the pulsating taste of Bollywood!
The fresh tender green leaves of the fenugreek plant, called Methi have a bitter-sweet flavour and are widely consumed as a regular green vegetable in Indian cooking.
