This Vegan hash-brown casserole has a crispy top, savory steak-style soy curls, fluffy tofu ’eggs.’ 27 grams of protein, rich in calcium, iron, and fiber, this is ultimate brunch centerpiece !
(27 grams protein, 8 grams fiber per serving! Gluten-free and nut-free with soy-free options.)

This casserole is based on the steak and eggs with hash browns from IHOP. I decided to turn it into a vegan casserole, so it has soy curls that are marinated and then baked along with onion, mushrooms, and peppers until everything starts to caramelize.

Then, we add crumbled tofu, seasonings, non-dairy yogurt or non-dairy cream, and vegan cheese. Spread that over everything, mix it up a little bit, and bake it again for a cheesy, 1-pan vegan steak and egg scramble.

While all of this is baking, we make our hash browns and crisp them in a skillet, then put them on top of the casserole before serving. You can actually serve the hash browns on the side or on top of the casserole.

I love making breakfast casseroles, like my eggs Benedict casserole and my Mexican egg casserole. In those recipes, I blend the tofu to make the egg mixture. I wanted to make a version where I didn’t have to use the blender, so there are fewer dishes to clean.

This is such a hearty breakfast, and it’s so delicious! For additional protein, you can add nutritional yeast and hemp seeds or more soy curls to the tofu mixture.

This epic roasted garlic chili coconut tofu sandwich stars this toasty, flavor-packed chili-garlic-coconut chutney(Indian Vada Pav Chutney) that coats the tofu paired with this creamy, herbed yogurt sauce and tangy pickled cabbage. 18g Protein 7g fiber!

I am so excited to bring you another sandwich in my series of reimagining sandwiches inspired by popular Indian street food! This one is spicy, nutty, coconutty, sweet, crunchy, creamy, and tangy all at once. It’s such an incredible combination of flavors and textures.
Don’t miss all the summer sandwiches in the series! These are some of my best sandwiches, Big flavor, and nutrient dense! Watch me make them on my YouTube channel! 🌶️

These stacked, make ahead friendly sandwiches and the Indian jalapeño popper toasts (15g protein per toast!) and my Indian crispy Chikin tofu sandwich, all pack incredible flavor and also Protein and fiber!

We’re going to make this chili garlic coconut chutney, which is a dry condiment (lasun chutney) often found in vada pav, a popular Indian sandwich. Vada pav usually has that chutney and a green chutney, and then there is this fried fritter of potatoes that’s tucked into bread. It’s so delicious.

I’m taking that amazing chutney and adding it on top of some tofu slices and baking them, then using them to fill up the coconut tofu sandwich. We’re piling them high in the sandwich along with a creamy, cooling, herby yogurt sauce as well as some tangy pickled cabbage. You can also use other pickled vegetables in this sandwich and add some roasted veggies, as well. This is a very flexible sandwich. 

The main flavor component of this coconut tofu sandwich is that chili garlic chutney, so don’t skimp on it. Definitely make that chutney, and don’t skimp on the garlic or the chili when you do. They give it an amazing flavor.

You want to use super firm tofu for the best results, but extra firm tofu works, as well. I like to slice it thin, almost like deli slices, because the more surface area, the more flavor you get from all of that chutney.

The chili garlic chutney has loads of garlic that gets toasted, then process it up with toasted sesame seeds, peanuts, toasted coconut, and a good amount of Kashmiri chili powder. I use Kashmiri chili powder a lot in my Indian recipes. If you don’t have it, you definitely need to get some. It has a very distinctive flavor and isn’t overly hot, so you can use it in non-Indian recipes, as well, in place of paprika. It adds beautiful color and amazing flavor. You can find Kashmiri chili powder online or at Indian grocery stores.

We make the yogurt sauce with yogurt, herbs, lime juice, and a little maple syrup to balance the savoriness. The pickled cabbage is simply cabbage pickled with vinegar, salt, sugar, and pepper flakes. You can use the same ingredients to pickle other vegetables, like cucumber, radishes, or onions, as well.

This sandwich has amazing flavors and textures in every bite!!!

Why You’ll Love this Coconut Tofu Sandwich

• toothsome tofu smothered in toasty, flavor-packed chili garlic coconut chutney
• creamy, herbed non-dairy yogurt sauce
• crunchy, tangy pickled cabbage contrasts all of those rich, deep flavors

This spin on Indian chilli cheese toast is absolutely decadent and delicious. It’s sort of like an Indian-inspired jalapeño popper cheese toast! Each toast has 10-15gm Protein, and ready in 15 minutes!

This is another recipe in my series of amazing, hearty summer sandwiches inspired by popular Indian sandwiches. I’m reimagining those sandwiches or components from those sandwiches. The goal is to create sandwiches with lots of texture and flavor while also making them hearty, high in protein and fiber, easy to make, and perfect for an easy summer lunch. These toasts boast 10 to 16 rams of protein and 5 to 7 grams of fiber per toast!

Don’t miss the other sandwiches in this series: my coconut tofu sandwich and curry leaf tofu sandwich!

Indian chilli cheese toast is usually very simple. It doesn’t have anything other than green chillies and cheese, sometimes with a few veg like onion and peppers, herbs, and seasonings. The two main ingredients are shredded cheese and green chillies. It doesn’t have any bean chili. This is all about green chilli.

That combination of green chillies, cheese, salt, pepper, and chaat masala tastes incredible, so I took that idea and added tofu for extra protein and volume. I also added nutritional yeast for more flavor and protein and hemp seeds for even more protein. Then, I added a generous amount of green chillies, piled everything onto toasted sourdough, and broiled it.

Most of the time involved is simply chopping the vegetables and green chillies and crumbling the tofu. After that, it only takes about three minutes under the broiler.

I also make a crispy tempeh and garlic topping to level up the texture and flavor and add even more protein. The crispy garlic is incredibly delicious on top. I add Kashmiri chili powder to the tempeh for color and that deep Kashmiri chili flavor, along with lime zest. All of these flavor combinations are just heavenly.

Depending on the size of your toast and how much filling you use, you can get anywhere from 10 grams of protein up to 16 grams of protein per slice. It also depends on the bread you’re using. Whole grain bread usually has even more protein! If you want to keep it gluten-free, use gluten-free bread, a gluten-free tortilla, or my almond flour gluten-free naan as the base.

You can broil these chilli cheese toasts, air fry them, or even put them on a grill. This recipe is crispy, cheesy, spicy, zesty, and packed with incredible flavor and texture. It’s an absolutely fabulous combination. You need these cheese toasts in your life! And see recipe notes for more flavor combinations!

Why You’ll Love Chilli Cheese Toasts

• crisp bread topped with creamy chilli-cheese mixture that turns golden brown in the oven

This crispy curry tofu sandwich has amazing, sweet-and-savory garam masala caramelized onions, curry leaf chilli oil glaze and a creamy yogurt sauce with swirls of chili oil. It’s sort of an Indian-inspired hot honey situation, and it’s so delicious!

This summer I am bringing you sandwiches inspired by popular Indian sandwiches. This one is a crispy spicy Chikin sandwich made vegan with crispy tofu that is coated in a curry leaf chili oil glaze, topped with garam masala caramelized onions (these are soooooo good) and paired with a herby cooling yogurt sauce. This sandwich packs so much flavor and texture.

Unlike the usual crispy chicken sandwiches that have a batter and are deep fried, we’re making a coating with cornstarch, white rice flour, and plenty of spices. The tofu gets tossed with oil, coated in the mixture, and then baked or air fried. The white rice flour and cornstarch make everything super crispy, and the tofu is ready in about 15 minutes.

While the tofu gets crispy, we caramelize onions with garlic, garam masala, and black pepper until everything turns golden brown. These sweet, umami-filled peppery onions take the sandwich to the next level.

Then, we make the curry leaf chili oil glaze. This is the biggest star of the sandwich. The glaze is sweet, spicy, zesty, and packed with curry leaf flavor. It makes the tofu juicier and pairs amazingly with the rest of the sandwich.

We also stir some of the glaze into a yogurt sauce made with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, or parsley. Then everything gets layered into a sandwich, wrap, grain bowl, or salad bowl. Each component is ridiculously delicious on its own, and together they become four times more ridiculously delicious! You can use these components separately as well. That crispy tofu is an amazing addition to bowls, wraps or salads. The curry leaf chili oil glaze is fantastic to add to any creamy dip or yogurt, to drizzle over curries , or use as salad dressing! The yogurt sauce is a fantastic dip! These components, can also be paired to make a wrap or a bowl without the bread! Every bite is an explosion of textures and flavors.

It was a struggle to name the sandwich if you have ideas for a better title do let me know!

Why You’ll Love Crispy Curry Tofu Sandwiches

• Indian-inspired sandwich with tons of amazing flavors and incredible textures
• garam masala caramelized onions add so much flavor and texture
• versatile! Serve as a sandwich, wrap, salad, grain bowl, etc.
