Method

1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a non-stick pan and 1 tablespoon oil in another non-stick pan.
2. Add chopped onions to the first pan and saute till lightly coloured.
3. Add onion slices to the other pan and saute. Sprinkle a little salt on the onion slices. 
4. Add soya granules to the first pan and saute. Add green chillies and ½ teaspoon red chilli powder and mix. Add salt and whole wheat flour and mix. Saute for 2-3 minutes. 
5. When the onion slices caramelize, transfer them into a bowl.
6. Put soya mixture into a big bowl.  Add mashed potato, brown breadcrumbs and mix well. 
7. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another non-stick pan. Halve the brown bread buns and grill them in this pan. 
8. Divide soya mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into tikkis to suit the diameter of the buns. 
9. Spread refined flour in a plate, add 1 teaspoon red chilli powder and salt and mix well.
   Remove the buns from the pan and set aside.
