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!

July 3, 2014 at 1:33 pmWould 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?

May 5, 2014 at 10:25 amThis 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.

January 20, 2014 at 10:40 amPeople 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!

March 29, 2014 at 4:40 pmDifferent 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 can’t believe I just got the kids to devour chickpeas!
