Vegetable burger recipe: learn how to make vegetarian burger at home with a simple vegetable patty, burger buns, vegetables, and some mayo or any other sauce you have in hand. Step by step vegetable burger recipe follows.

vegetable burger recipe, how to make vegetable burger at home

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
  1. 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.
  2. Mash up the potato real nice.
  3. Cut the other vegetables into tiny pieces.
  4. Mix in salt, cumin seeds, green chillies/red chilli powder, chopped coriander leaves and the masala powder.
  5. Shape into large patties.
  6. Shallow fry the patties until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
To Assemble the Burgers
  1. 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.
  2. Grab a box of baby greens or any lettuce
  3. Lay it out on the lower half of the burger bun.
  4. Top it off with some shredded cheddar cheese or one cheese slice.
  5. Take one vegetable patty and place it on the cheese and greens, pressing down gently without crumbling it.
  6. Spread some mayo over this
  7. Next, layer onion rings and tomato slices over this
  8. Now bring in the other half of the burger, place it on the pile and press down gently.
  9. You can use a toothpick inserted through the center to hold it all together. Serve when the patty is still warm.

Step by Step Vegetable Burger Recipe

vegetable burger, how to make vegetable burger at home

First, boil all the vegetables, except onion, until soft. Pressure cooking them for about 2 whistles should do the trick.

vegetable burger, how to make vegetable burger at home
Mash up the potato real nice. Cut the other vegetables into tiny pieces. Mix in salt, jeera, 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.

Now comes the bit where we assemble the vegetable burgers.

We start with a burger bun, of course.

Grab the box of baby greens or any lettuce you have in the fridge.

vegetable burger, how to make vegetable burger at home

Lay it out on the lower half of the burger bun.

Top it off with some shredded cheddar cheese or one cheese slice. This is beginning to get yummier, eh?

vegetable burger, how to make vegetable burger at home

Take one vegetable patty and place it on the cheese and greens, pressing down gently without crumbling it.

Spread some mayo over this. Between you and me, I ran out of mayo so I used thousand island dressing here. Use whatever you fancy, it’s your burger.

Onion rings are next. Aren’t they pretty?

Tomatoes. TH’s burger has an extra slice and mine has just one because raw tomato really doesn’t do it for me.

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. We didn’t really do all that. Just bite, chomp, gulp and go for the next bite if you’re anything like us.

If you feel there is no burger experience without French fries, quickly make some. All you need to do is peel and slice potatoes into long thin slices. Mix in some salt.

Deep fry in oil.

There you go, a homemade vegetarian burger mea

TH: “I think we should make this a monthly regular like our Pizza Friday”

Nags: “Sure! Now that you know how it’s done, go ahead. The kitchen is all yours”

TH: “Errr.. gulp.. o..k”

    Hello… Can we bake the patties in the over instead of shallow frying them?

      June 13, 2012 at 12:23 am

      probably, i haven;t tried that. i'd spray it with some oil before baking though otherwise the patties may dry out. let me know if you try baking the patties for your hamburger 🙂

    Any ideas on how to have melted cheese in this burger? Is it ok to grill the burger with lettuce in it?

    Reply
    • Nagalakshmi V

      February 14, 2012 at 1:23 am

      you can toast the buns lightly if you want and stack up the cheese on it next so it melts with the heat.

    Sorry to hear that anon. The possible reason could be that the potato wasn't starchy enough to hold the ingredients together. In that case, you could add some flour (1-2 tsp) to the mashed vegetable mixture to bring it together. Another reason could be the oil temperature. If its not hot enough, the patties will erode.

    I just made this, and the patties just eroded in the oil 🙁 I don't know what I did wrong.

    Waste of good ingredients and time! I don't blame you though, but very disappointed in my attempt to make this.
