Tips & Tricks

FAQS

    Semolina is essential for this recipe as it gives the unique texture to the sandwich. Substituting it may change the outcome.

  2. Can I skip eno in the recipe?

    Eno helps the batter rise and makes the semolina bread fluffy. You can substitute it with baking soda if needed.

  3. What can I serve with semolina sandwiches?

    Semolina sandwiches pair well with coriander chutney, mint chutney, or tomato ketchup.

  4. Can I add other vegetables to the filling?

    Yes, you can add vegetables like peas, corn, or beans to the filling for added flavor and nutrition.
