Vegetarian Hot Dog

Method

• step 1

  Soak the Kidney beans in water overnight. (or for around 6 hours). Boil the Kidney beans (with a little bit of salt) to make them soft & mash-able! Completely filter the water from the kidney beans. Use a clean cloth or towel to remove some excess water from the kidney beans.

• step 2

  Boil, peel & mash the potatoes. (& also mash the tofu if you are using it). In a large mixing bowl, mash the kidney beans with your hands. DonâÂÂt use a blender. We just need to mash the beans roughly. Add the mashed potatoes & mashed tofu to it & mix well

• step 3

  Add the chopped cilantro, green chilies, slat, paprika & bread crumbs & mix well. Divide the mixture to 4 large balls.

• step 4

  Take a part of the mixture on a flat surface. Imagine how a sausage looks like. Slowly, start rolling the dough evenly as if it were a rolling pin

• step 5

  Wither deep fry the sausages or for a healthier version, add a teaspoon of oil to a pan & shallow fry OR grill on both sides for 4-5 minutes each

• step 6

  Cut the bun into 2 halves. Apply butter (optional) and tomato sauce & mustard sauce generously on the lower half.

• step 7

  Place slices of tomato, lettuce & cheese. And then sausage we prepared above on the lower half.

• step 8

  Apply sauce on the other half of the bun. Close the lower half with the other half of the bun.

• step 9
