Potato and Corn Sandwich an a Tawa Video. Have you ever wondered why bread-based snacks taste so wonderful when had on the roadside? While part of the credit goes to the experienced hand of the vendor who makes them day in and day out, it is also partly due to the way the bread is cooked on a tava with loads of butter! While electric toasters have replaced the tava in some sandwich counters, many roadside vendors still use the humble tava to make their droolworthy fare! So, why not do the same at home
