A Brown Kitchen: Savory Lamb Swirl Buns




San Francisco Chronicle Food & Home - Spoken Edition show

Summary: As a schoolkid, I ate one almost every day. Though they were called “hot dogs” in Mumbai, they were closer to sloppy joes: a roll of bread, sliced in the center to form a deep crevice that would then be stuffed with a mixture of ground beef or lamb that had been cooked and seasoned with a splash of vinegar and a handful of spices. The stuffed roll would be sold wrapped like a taffy in white parchment paper twisted at both ends. I loved it.
