Method
Preparing the Patty
- 1)
Chop all the vegetables into small cubes
- 2)
Add the veggies to a pot of boiling water and boil until they become soft (About 9 minutes)
- 3)
Drain the veggies and add them to a vessel or pot
- 4)
Mash all the veggies together
- 5)
Add all the ingredients mentioned under the Ingredient group ‘spices for the patty and mix well
- 6)
The mixture should be just went enough (not sticky). If you feel its sticky, add some more breadcrumbs
- 7)
Divide the mixture into equal portions and slightly flatten them and set aside on a plate
Cooking the Patty
- 1)
Take the Basan flour in a cup and add just a little water to make a batter
- 2)
In another plate take the breadcrumbs and spread it
- 3)
Arrange the plates in order – Patties, bowl with batter and the bread crumbs
- 4)
Now take the patty, dip it on both sides in the batter and then coat them with the breadcrumbs
- 5)
Place it back on the plate and set aside for about 6 to 7 minutes
- 6)
Now heat a wide fry pan (low flame) and add 1 tablespoon of oil so you can shallow fry the patties.
- 7)
Fry the patties on both sides until crisp and have them ready
Assembling the burger
- 1)
Quickly toast the burger buns
- 2)
On the bun, spread your favorite chutney, spicy mayo or ketchup
- 3)
Assemble together, bun, patty, cheese slice, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper (veggies of your choice) and get the burger ready
- 4)
I usually add some chips or cheetos to add a crunch
Notes
You can just eat the patty as a cutlet during tea time too.
