Vegetable Burger

When we came to US we craved for vegetable burger. The veggie burgers at Burger King or Mc Donalds are made with Soy patties and doesn't taste anything like the burgers you get in India. Here is what I came up with, hope you like it. To make it healthier, I suggest that the patties be cooked with little oil on a flat non-stick pan. Otherwise you can also deep fry the patties. Refer to the vegetable cutlet instructions on how to make the batter and roll it out in bread crumbs.

Quantity about 8-9 patties (tikki)

 
Ingredients for the patties (tikki):
4 large boiled potatoes mashed
1/4 cup french beans chopped
1/4 cup carrots finely chopped
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 large onion finely chopped (preferably red onion)
2 green chillies chopped
1 tsp ginger grated
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp dried Mango powder
1 tsp roasted cumin powder
1 tsp dried kasuri Methi
1/4 cup fresh corainder leaves
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste

Fresh Garam Masala (to be ground)
2 cloves
2 green cardamoms
2 black pepper 

For the burger:

Deli rolls 

Cheddar cheese or any cheese of your choice

Ketchup

Maggi Hot and Sweet sauce

Honey Mustard sauce

Chipotle Mayo (kraft brand)

Onions cut in rings

Tomato cut in round shape

Directions:
Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, green chilli, and ginger. Let the seeds splutter, then add onions. Saute onions until golden brown. Add french beans and carrots, cover and cook until soft. Now add the coriander powder, red chilli powder, and mango powder, then mix it well. Add mashed potatoes, salt, kasuri methi, garam masala powder, and roasted cumin powder. Mix all the spices with the potatoes, then add coriander leaves. Turn off the heat. Wait till the mixture cools down. Divide the mixture in medium sized balls and flatten it like tikki. Heat a non stick pan or any pan. Add a tsp of oil, then add the tikkis. Wait the tikkis turn crisp and brown, then flip it and cook on the other side. The deli rolls are generally cut in half. If not, then cut the rolls in half and then heat the rolls on both sides. Add tikki, onions, tomato, honey mustard sauce, ketchup, maggi hot and sweet, chipotle mayo, and cheese. Serve it with soup or salad.
