Instructions
To begin creating your High Protein Chickpea Potato Hash Browns, first ensure your potatoes are boiled, peeled, and ready for use. Start by washing and soaking the kabuli chickpeas in a bowl of water overnight to achieve the best texture and taste.
The next morning, transfer the soaked chickpeas along with some salt into a pressure cooker. Seal the pressure cooker and cook on medium-high heat for about 25 minutes. Once the cooking time has elapsed, turn off the flame and allow the pressure to release naturally, which will help retain moisture and flavor in the chickpeas.
After the pressure has released, carefully open the cooker, drain the water from the chickpeas, and transfer them into a mixing bowl. Now, add the prepared boiled potatoes into the bowl with the chickpeas. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the chickpeas and potatoes together until you achieve a uniform mixture. Season this mixture with salt, black pepper, cumin powder, butter, and lemon juice, ensuring that all ingredients are well combined.
Next, divide the mixture into equal portions, shaping them into lemon-sized balls before flattening them gently between your palms to create tikkis, which are essentially your chickpea and potato hash browns. Set these aside for a moment.
In a separate bowl, crack the whole egg and whisk it well; set this aside as well. On a plate, spread out the whole wheat bread crumbs, which will provide a delightful crunch to your hash browns.
To proceed, dip each shaped hash brown first into the whisked egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then roll it into the bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat a skillet over medium-low flame and add a generous amount of oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded hash browns onto the skillet. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they achieve a lovely golden-brown color and a crispy exterior.
Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve your High Protein Chickpea Potato Hash Browns alongside baked beans and a refreshing Golden Glow Smoothie, accompanied by an assortment of fresh fruits, dried fruits, and nuts for a balanced and nutritious breakfast that will not only delight your palate but also nourish your body.
