Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
• 1 medium Boiled sweet potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 unit Green chillies, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 4 units Whole-grain dinner rolls or whole wheat Pav buns
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Vegan cilantro chutney
• 4 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Roasted peanuts, crushed (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the boiled sweet potato and mash it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the cooked chickpeas to the bowl and mash them together with a fork or potato masher until well combined but slightly chunky.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and green chillies. Add them to the mixture along with the grated ginger.

Step 4

Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped fresh coriander leaves for a burst of flavor and freshness.

Step 6

Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Refrigerate the patties for 10 to 15 minutes to firm them up.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, make a smooth batter by combining chickpea flour with water. The batter should be thick enough to coat a spoon but still pourable.

Step 8

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip each patty into the batter, ensuring it's coated evenly, then place it on the skillet.

Step 9

Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside once done.

Step 10

Slice the whole-grain dinner rolls or Pav buns in half. Toast them on the same skillet until lightly golden.

Step 11

Assemble the Vadapav by spreading 1 tablespoon of vegan cilantro chutney on one half of the bun and 1 tablespoon of tomato ketchup on the other half.

Step 12

Place the cooked protein patty on the bottom bun. Sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts if desired, then cover with the top bun.

Step 13

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining buns and patties.

Step 14

Serve warm with extra chutney on the side, if preferred, and enjoy your High Protein Vadapav!
