Vegetarian Burgers
4 burger buns
A box of baby greens
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
1/4 cup green peas
1/4 cup sweet corn
2 green chillies or 1 tsp red chilli powder
Fresh coriander leaves
1 tsp jeera
1 tsp masala powder (any kind)
6 tbsp oil to shallow fry
Salt
Let's use a picture of the final dish to keep us motivated
First, boil all the vegetables except onion until soft. Pressure cooking them for about 2 whistles should do the trick.
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 big-ish 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.
Cut it into half. Hopefully you can do a better job of cutting it evenly than I did.
Grab the box of baby greens or any lettuce you have in the fridge.
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?
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, its 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. Me didn't really do all that. Just bite, chomp, gulp and go for the next bite if you're anything like me.
