Instructions:
-
Cook the Sprouts: Add all the sprouts (Green Moong, Masoor Dal, Rajma, Kala Chana) to a pressure cooker along with 1 cup of water. Pressure cook for one whistle. Once done, turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.
-
Prepare the Masala: In a kadai, heat oil and add the finely chopped onions. Sauté the onions until they turn pinkish. Add the chopped tomato and cook until the tomato becomes soft and mushy.
-
Add Garlic: Add the finely chopped garlic and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
-
Mix the Sprouts: Open the pressure cooker and add the boiled sprouts to the sautéed onion-tomato mixture. Stir in red chilli powder, chaat masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Garnish and Set Aside: Adjust the salt to taste and garnish the mixture with chopped coriander leaves. The filling is now ready.
-
Assemble the Sandwich: Take one slice of whole wheat bread and spread about 2 tablespoons of the sprout filling. Top it with a few slices of onion. Close the sandwich with another slice of bread.
-
Grill or Serve: You can either serve the sandwich as is or grill it for a crispy texture. Repeat this for the remaining bread slices.
