Soya Kheema Masala Sandwich
Sandwiches are one of my favorite to make when I don’t feel like having rice for lunch. Couple weeks back I made soya keema matar for dinner, I had some leftover minced soya, so the next day I decided to make sandwiches out of it. It was so filling and yummy. In fact I used homemade wheat honey oats bread for these sandwiches and turned out to be super healthy. Check out more sandwich recipes too..

About Soya Sandwich
Soya chunks are a great source of protein, but not everyone enjoys their texture and taste. This sandwich is a tasty way to include soya in your meal or in a kids meal. The soya keema is blended with spices to create a flavourful filling that elevates the typical soya flavour like a meat taste.
Generally keema refers to the minced meat like chicken, lamb / mutton , beef cooked with spices and herbs. Whereas I have made this sandwich using vegetarian protein options like soya, made into chunks like minced meat.
The soya keema filling is so versatile that it is not only for sandwiches, you can also use the keema masala to spread on dosai or fill inside paratha or make it as healthy and nutritious wrap.

Ingredients

Soya chunks / Meal maker : This is the star ingredient and base of the filling. It is one of the good sources of vegetarian protein. Other protein options like tofu, paneer, cheese, tempeh can be added or substituted.
Bread ( Wheat bread ) : I have used my homemade wheat honey oat bread for this recipe. You can use any white bread, multigrain or sourdough bread based on your preference.
Onion : Onion provides a subtle sweetness and helps to form a flavourful base. Make sure to use finely chopped onions.
Tomato : Tomato is added for slight tanginess and to add body to the filling. You can also substitute with canned tomatoes or tomato ketchup.
Ginger and Garlic paste : Ginger garlic paste are used for their aroma and pungent flavour. It also aids in digestion.
Spices : I have used spices like chilli powder and garam masala powder for the spicy kick. For added heat, you can add chilli flakes or finely chopped green chilli to the base.
Salt : Salt is used to enhance and balance the overall taste.
Oil : Use regular cooking oil or any oil of your choice. Make sure to use a very minimal quantity of oil. It helps to prevent the filling from sticking to the pan.
Coriander leaves : Finely chopped coriander leaves are added towards the end for the warm and herby flavour.

Hacks
Cooking soya : In a pot, add water and let it boil. Drop the soya chunks in the boiling water and immerse them completely. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes based on the package instructions.
Squeeze the water : Drain the soya after boiling and run them in cold water. Squeeze the excess water completely using hands or muslin cloth.
Grinding : Use a food processor or a mixer to grind the soya into keema. Pulse them for a few seconds and your vegetarian keema will be ready.
Extra flavours : To add some rich flavours to the sandwich filling, add cheese slices or grated cheese while toasting. You can also add hot sauce, tomato ketchup, mayonnaise to the filling to make it more rich and creamy.
