Veggie Masala Bites with Plant-Based Tzatziki

PREPARE THE VEGGIE MASALA BITES:

1. In a stainless steel bowl, combine the Indian masala mix protein crumbles and warm water. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes.
2. In a food processor, pulse the broccoli then the carrots into pea-sized pieces. You may need to do this in batches.
3. Add the broccoli and carrot pieces to the masala mix. Stir to combine.
4. Add one Indian masala mix spice packet. Stir to combine. If the mixture appears dry, add a small amount of water.
5. Form the mixture into 2 oz. patties and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. 
6. Refrigerate the patties for 15 minutes to 3 days before cooking. 
7. Heat the canola oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 2 minutes per side. Cover the pan and cook on low for an additional 3-4 minutes.

SERVE THE VEGGIE MASALA BITES:

1. Place masala bites on a serving platter. Place the tzatziki in a ramekin and serve alongside the masala bites.
