A high protein sandwich made of soya, sprouts, and chickpeas can be served as dinner, breakfast, or even as an after-school snack. This sandwich is an excellent choice for a lunch box. I’ve only served the patty/cutlet here.
You can, however, add more vegetables or sauces to make it more complete/filling. I had some leftover naan, so I served it to my sons as an appetizer/snack. They had a good time. In many ways, this cutlet differs from regular cutlets. You have to try it to believe it.
