3.Heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add pork and stir occasionally starting to crisp (2-3 minutes). Set aside.
4.Increase oven to 180C. Split rolls in half and warm in oven (2-3 minutes). Spread bases with kasundi, then top with cheddar, pork, carrot, cornichons and lettuce. Spread tops with mayonnaise, sandwich and serve with extra cornichons.
