My husband likes cheese a lot. Can I add cheese slice to this sandwich? I’m not sure how it would turn out.
Sneha, My husband also love cheese and I use the cheese slice for him and he really enjoy
Aunty..
Can we substitute potatoes with any other veggie.. Preferably low carb veggie.. As binding agent..
Hello Mam, wht is Greek yogurt
Hi Manjula!
These are absolutely delicious. I plan to send this recipe to my sisters!
Before I do that, do you have any tips on getting them to stick together better in the pan? My batch is falling apart a bit on the stove – not alot, but they are not holing together as much as I would like.
Thanks!
Mercedes, may be use more potatoes
Aunty I just loved your video presentation…. Awesome and so are you… First time I saw your video. Detailed presentation. Thank you.
Would you suggest that it is possible to bake these…as a more healthy option? Perhaps at 400, at 10 minutes per side? And do you think they would freeze well?
Lisa yes you can bake them but still need to brush oil both sides, grilled on skillet do taste batter.
This is now my favorite sandwich. I am of caucasian decent and just use jalepeños and flavor is still great. I have never had a green chile and would not know where to get one, or how to pick it out. Thank you Manjula for a great recipe.
Thanks!
Just enjoyed these delicious patties with homemade gluten free bread. Perfect after a six mile run in rain, snow and high winds.
Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe
With love

Hi Aunty,
Please give me a substitute for potatoes! Please let me know soon 🙂 thanks a lot.
Really great food is healthy and above all, light. I heartily recommend
People of caucasian decent…USE CAUTION WITH CHILIES!!!!! the meal is delicious but if your not use to heat or think your ok with the heat you usually eat at home (hot sauce,salsa, etc) STOP! and majorly reduce the amount maybe not even use them! Other wise delish!
Different chile peppers have different levels of heat. If you do not like or cannot tolerate spicy foods, try a green chile with a lower level of heat. I suggest starting with jalapenos and if they are not spicy enough for you, try moving up to Serranos, and then on to Habaneros.
I just made these using mini bulkies for my kids lunch, left the chilis out for theirs,but in for mine.
I can’t believe I just got the kids to devour chickpeas!
Another delicious hit!
Thanks again Manjula!
