This is a kind of algerian savoury BIG MAC, though, its not from the McDonald.It is possible to find the Kalentika good in all areas of large cities Algerian. By vocation, Karantika dish is simple and cheap. It is sold, preferably hot in sandwich shops or street vendors who stop in front of schools, markets, businesses or public places. karantita is an old traditional algerian sandwiches since second world war. At first I'm curious on how it really looks like as they translate it to English as pie, and the taste as well. My husband was craving for this and he have to call his big sister on how to make it. It's an instant hit, it's addicting and taste very nice. We are having this every Friday and I don't just fill it in my bread but eat it with rice.
