      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.
