Spinach, Chickpeas, Banana Patties Stuffed with Mozzarella

#mysteryweek #aromasofthekitchen Today I am thrilled to present a unique fusion recipe as a result of the Mystery Box Challenge by Masterchef Siddharth Talwar in the ongoing Masterchef Challenge organised by Cookpad India. The mystery box had 5 ingredients, namely; Spinach, Chickpeas, Banana, Cheese and Peanuts. After some brainstorming with my Team members, I had this Eureka moment and decided to make this Spinach, Chickpeas, Banana Patties Stuffed with Mozzarella and served with a Peanut Tomato Dip. This way I got to use all the 5 ingredients and create a delicious healthy snack. It’s very healthy as it's rich in spinach which contains iron and minerals. The typical taste of chole with the goodness of spinach, delicious mix of my local raw bananas and the stuffing of rich gooey mozzarella makes it a sinful fusion patty that is scrumptious and innovative. So, here's an easy peasy but perfect teatime snack- Spinach, Chickpeas, Banana Patties Stuffed with Mozzarella served with a tangy Peanut-Tomato Dip Peanut-Tomato dip is a finger-licking dip I served with Spinach, Chickpeas, Banana Patties Stuffed with Mozzarella to give the dish an extra zing. This recipe is not only easy to make but quick too. The freshness of tangy tomatoes and nutty peanuts are healthy with a high fiber content apart from being low in carbs.
