Burger Recipe

Ingredients


For the tikkis
1/3 cup cooked broken wheat (dalia)
2 tbsp finely chopped carrots
2 tbsp finely chopped french beans
2 tbsp boiled sweet corn kernels (makai ke dane)
2 medium sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 slice of whole wheat bread
1/2 tsp finely chopped green chillies
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch) powder
1 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)
1 tsp oil for cooking
salt to taste

Other ingredients
6 brown bread buns
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
12 lettuce leaves
2 medium sized onions, sliced
2 green cucumbers, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
salt to taste
6 cheese slices

Method

For the tikkis
Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into an even sized round and flatten the rounds to make tikkis.
Heat a non-stick pan and cook each tikki using ½ tsp oil until both sides are golden brown in colour. Keep aside.

How to serve
Cut each burger bun horizontally into two and toast them lightly in an oven or on a tava (griddle).
On the lower half of each bun spread 1 tsp of the tomato ketchup and place 2 lettuce leaves over it.
Place a few onion slices, cucumber slices, tomato slices and sprinkle a little salt over it.
Finally place 1 slice of cheese and 1 tikki cover with the remaining half of the bun and press it lightly.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 5 more burgers.
