This is I suppose what led us to our current sandwich supplier, a very novel sandwich, a true vegetarian feast of innovation. No one else had such a sandwich on the market. It has since been copied by many, but never matched in our opinion.
The most popular Indian restaurant starter, turned into a sandwich, with traditional accompliaments of mint sauce, mango chutney, onion and coriander. The product also went on to win ‘Best Manufactured Sandwich of the Year 2005’ at ‘The Sammies’, the British Sandwich Industries version of the Oscars.
Two slices of malted bread, or if you can manage it (we never could, but did try) two spicy poppodoms instead, or some naan bread.
Low fat spread if you wish.
60g sliced onion bhaji, we have ours as you would expect made to our own special recipe, by a specialist producer, very close to one of our our manufacturing centres in Middlesbrough. If you can, make your own, if not Waitrose produce some of the best in our opinion.
15 g mint mayonnaise (5g real mint sauce mixed with 10g free range mayonnaise)
15g mango chutney, as you may have guessed, we have ours made specially to our own recipe in small batches, we did this so we could add whole spices and seeds, and keep some larger chunks of mango in it, as opposed to the smooth mango paste
that other people tend to use, as it is easier to spread. We prefer the difficult, chunky route.
Sliced red onion (core removed)
Diced cucumber – de seed if you can
Fresh coriander leaves – we love them, but add as few or as much as you wish.
Spread the mango over the lid, and the mint mayonnaise over the base. Cover the base with sliced bhaji, scatter over the onion, cucumber and coriander leaves. Crack open a cold Cobra Beer.
Feel free and experiment with other bhajis, such as mushroom, we did, but found the onion was the best. Maybe we will make a mushroom one as a limited edition in the future.

You'll see we have provided information on each product’s contribution to your GDA. GDA’s are something that we keep a keen eye on, we are proud to say we won’t launch a product if it contributes disproportionately to your GDA of fat or salt, and have constantly demonstrated this by not launching products which are over the top in these areas. Having said that, since we are a vegetarian brand and many of our products contain cheese, we are not pretending to be a 'low fat' healthy brand. What we aim for is a balance of taste and health, and an honesty that goes with all our products, so you know what you’re eating and can make sure you eat a balanced, healthy diet on a daily basis.
"Hi Cranks,
I just thought I would let you know that the Argy Bhaji sandwich that I have just eaten was the best sandwich I have ever tasted ! I bought it in Waitrose and it really exceeded my expectations, the taste being just right, not too hot, but spicy enough to be an authentic pleasure.
Congratulations to the product developer !"
"Dear Sirs,
I would just like to say that I have just eaten a sandwich named "Argy Bhaji" which was absolutely delicious. Very unusual and very, very tasty. Shall look out for more of your creative sandwiches. Thanks."
"Hi there!
I bought a pack of your Argy Bhaji sandwiches from Waitrose in Chesham today. Firstly, let me tell you ( as if you didn’t know) that these are up there with the very best !!! Absolutely fantastic flavours."
"Hi team
I wanted to congratulate you on doing something that the major food brands cant seem to manage - your packaging. It always incenses me that if you choose to buy organic, then you are probably wanting to recycle too. And use products from sustainable sources. So many times are my 100s of organic apple juice cartons that the kids go through not able to be recycled. It's insane. I had your Argy Bargy sandwich. It was delicious - thank you. And instead of chucking the pack away on the train to work, I brought it all the way home again - it deserves to be recycled properly!"
