Ingredients
Bread
- 10 slices Wheat Bread whole
Aromatics and Spices
- ½ cup Onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
Sauce Base
- ½ cup Tomatoes finely chopped
- 1 tsp Coriander ground
- 1 tsp Cumin ground
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- ¼ tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 ½ tsp Salt or to taste
For Grilling
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
- Butter as needed, low-fat
Instructions
- Pressure cook the potatoes and sprouts with a small amount of water for 3 whistles, or until tender. Allow to cool.
- Once cooled, mash the potatoes and set aside. Drain the sprouts and set them aside as well.
- Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
- Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they turn light brown. Then, add the chopped onion and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften into a pulp. This creates the base for the flavorful sauce.
- Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, and garam masala. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes over low heat, allowing the spices to bloom.
- Add the mashed potatoes, boiled sprouts, and salt to the pan. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the vegetables are well combined with the spice mixture.
- Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and any excess moisture has evaporated.
- Take two slices of bread and lightly spread low-fat butter on both sides of each slice.
- Place a generous portion of the sprout and potato mixture onto one slice of bread and spread it evenly.
- Top with the other slice of bread to form a sandwich. Gently press down.
- Spread a little butter on the top of the sandwich. Grill the sandwich in a sandwich maker until golden brown and heated through.
- If you don't have a sandwich maker, you can toast the sandwich in a non-stick pan or on a griddle with a little butter. Ensure the edges are sealed to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Serve the hot Sprouted Sandwich immediately.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch and a nutritional boost, add thinly sliced raw veggies like cucumber, bell peppers, or grated carrots inside the sandwich just before grilling.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, spread a thin layer of green chutney or tamarind-date chutney on the bread slices before adding the sprouts filling.
- To make this sandwich vegan, replace regular bread with vegan-friendly whole wheat bread and skip ghee or butter, opting for a light brushing of olive oil instead.
- Leftover sprouts mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days—use it as a salad topping or a filling for wraps and parathas.
Expert Tips
- Toast the bread slices lightly before assembling the sandwich to prevent them from getting soggy from the moisture in the sprouts.
- For a richer flavor, add a sprinkle of chaat masala or a squeeze of lemon juice to the sprouts mixture.
- Use a panini press or a heavy skillet to grill the sandwich for even cooking and attractive grill marks.
Storage Instructions
- Grilled sprout sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving.
