I saw this in Cookingshooking. From the min I saw this I am pretty sure my sons would love it. I wanted to give it a try. I made a few changes to suit our taste as well as for available ingredients. However, there are few ingredients that must (which gives Mexican taste) like rajma, chili flakes. This makes a good party or gettogether a recipe. you can prepare patty, sauce and just do the assembling while serving. You can use leftover rice to make the patty. This can be served as a main meal or as starters. you can try with wheat flour lacha parotta. I have used store brought frozen parotta
