Sattu Sandwich

Sattu is nothing but roasted chana flour. It is known as the poor man’s protein as it is a cheap and easy-to-use protein-rich ingredient. This dish is very similar to a bread pakoda, except that it has sattu flour instead of gram flour and paneer instead of a potato filling.

INGREDIENTS

2 slices whole wheat bread
5 tablespoons paneer, crumbled
4 tablespoons green chutney
½ cup sattu
2 tablespoons suji (rawa or semolina)
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons curd
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
4 tablespoons chopped onions
4 tablespoons chopped tomatoes
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon chilli flakes
1 green chilli, chopped
½ teaspoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon chaat masala
1 tablespoon oil

METHOD

Mix the paneer and chutney and keep it aside.
In a bowl, add the sattu, suji, water and curd and mix well. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Add the chopped coriander, onions, tomatoes, salt, oregano, chilli flakes, green chilli, garlic and chaat masala to the paneer and mix well.
Stuff the paneer and chutney mix in between the 2 slices of bread. Cut the sandwich diagonally.
Heat a pan and smear it with oil.
Smear the sattu paste on 1 side of both the sandwich halves and place that side on the pan. Cook till the sattu is done.
Now cover the other side of the bread with sattu and flip it on the pan to cook that side too.
Serve hot with green chutney.
