Before you start reading this vegetable burger recipe, I admit that a vegetable burger doesn’t replace a quick Indian snack recipe but it sure hits the spot on some days. Read on to learn our story.TH: “I miss the Mc Aloo Tikki and Paneer Burgers in McDonalds back home. Here, there’s no way for us to get vegetarian burgers unless we ask them to remove the patty and eat the burger bun with cheese and lettuce. Damn!”

Nags: “Ok don’t fuss. I will make you a burger at home. It’s not that hard.”

TH: “Ah! Ok, tell me what all stuff we need for it”

Nags: Here’s the list of things we need to serve 2 people.

Author: nags

Recipe type: Snacks

Cuisine: American

Serves: 4 Burgers

Ingredients

4 burger buns
2 cups of baby greens or lettuce
4 cheese slices or shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp mayo (any kind)
Half an onion, cut into rings
One tomato, sliced into circles

For the patties:

1 large potato
1 onion
1 carrot
10 French beans
¼ cup green peas
¼ cup sweet corn
2 green chillies or 1 tsp red chilli powder
Fresh coriander leaves
1 tsp jeera / cumin seeds
1 tsp masala powder or garam masala (any kind)
6 tbsp oil to shallow fry
Salt

For the French fries:

2 large potatoes
Salt
Oil to deep fry

Instructions

First, boil all the vegetables, except onion, until soft. Pressure cooking them or boiling them should do the trick. Make sure you cook the potatoes separately.
Mash up the potato real nice.
Cut the other vegetables into tiny pieces.
Mix in salt, cumin seeds, green chillies/red chilli powder, chopped coriander leaves and the masala powder.
Shape into large patties.
Shallow fry the patties until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.

To Assemble the Burgers

We start with a burger bun, of course. Cut it into half. Hopefully you can do a better job of cutting it evenly than I did.
Grab a box of baby greens or any lettuce
Lay it out on the lower half of the burger bun.
Top it off with some shredded cheddar cheese or one cheese slice.
Take one vegetable patty and place it on the cheese and greens, pressing down gently without crumbling it.
Spread some mayo over this
Next, layer onion rings and tomato slices over this
Now bring in the other half of the burger, place it on the pile and press down gently.
You can use a toothpick inserted through the center to hold it all together. Serve when the patty is still warm.

TH: “Err.. that’s a lot of stuff just to make us two burger meals each”.

Nags: “You want it or not?”

TH: “I do, I do! Ok, let’s get started”
