Salem Thattu Vadai Set is a popular street food from Salem, a small town in Tamilnadu (in the southern part of India). It is a savory, crispy sandwich made with thattu vadais (crispy savory deep fried rice flour cookies), slathered with green coriander-mint chutney and red tomato-onion chutney and filled with a mixture of grated carrots, beetroots and onions in tangy lemon juice. India is famous for its various street foods. Even in the smallest town, you will find a wide range of savory and sweet street food carts at every street corner. We Indians love our spicy, tangy and flavorful street foods so much, there are whole streets dedicated to just street food with trucks, carts and even vendors with just a small basket doling out all the flavors of chaats and savory snacks like samosas, aloo tikkis, Pani Puri, Bhel, deep fried snacks made of raw plantain or even chole bhature! Salem Thattu Vadai set or sandwich is one such street food local to Salem. Although I am from this small town, I was not fortunate enough to try these during my school or college days as we never preferred to eat from any street food cart or any roadside snack, mainly for hygienic reasons. Being an avid food blogger, constantly scouring the net for interesting recipes to try, give it my own twist and share it with all of you, I came across this street food and when I saw the name “Salem” (with the name of the recipe), it piqued my interest. It looked so easy and effortless to put together that I decided to make these with our evening tea or chai.
