Making of Tofu/Beans Patties
Trader joes high protein tofu comes already pressed, but I still like it press it a bit more to assure complete removal of as much water possible. You can skip this step or press it more, then pat dry the tofu and shred it.
Drain and rinse the canned kidney beans, pat dry it to remove extra water. Then mash it with potato masher.
Add mashed beans and rest of the ingredients listed under "Patties Ingredients" to shredded tofu. Mix all very well. The mixture should have consistency to form patties. Make 12 even patties.
In a big wide non stick pan, spray some oil at the bottom. Place patties in the pan leaving some space in between them. You can cook patties in 2 rounds if they all don't fit into one pan.
Cook all patties on both side with some spray cooking oil until each side is nicely brown and crispy. Once done keep it aside.
These patties freeze well and also stays well in refrigerator for upto a week. Simply warm them up either on stove top in a pan or in an oven before using it.
Assmebling of the Sandwiches
Toast both side of the TJ sandwich starter bread, one side as it is and the otehr side topped with sliced pepper jack cheese to ensure the cheese melts durign toasting of bread.
Once toasted, spread green chutney + mayo first & Maggi sauce on both pieces of bread, one directly on bread while the other on top of melted cheese.
Place 2 patties on one side of the bread, on top of chutney/sauce later.
Place sliced red onion and tomato on top of patties, then sprinkle some chaat masala.
Place chutney mayo coated shredded lettuce on top of onion/tomato layer. Then top it with otehr side of the bread, chutney/sauce side facing the lettuce.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve it with jalapeno chips and some ice cold beverage of choice!
