Instructions

For the Burger Patties

  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a pan.
  • Once the oil is hot enough, add the finely chopped onions and finely chopped ginger to the pan on high flame and saute for 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent and the raw aroma of ginger goes away.
  • Then add grated carrot, shredded cabbage, beetroot, chopped green beans, sweet corn, green peas, and green chillies. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Now, add salt to taste, chaat masala, garam masala, and black pepper powder. Mix well with the rest of the mixture.
  • Switch off the flame. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let the mixture cool down a bit.
  • Add shredded paneer, boiled & mashed potatoes, coriander, mint, lemon juice, and ½ cup of breadcrumbs to the cooked veggies and mix very well. Set the veggie patties mixture aside.

Prepare the batter

  • In a small bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper powder.
  • Add little water and make a thick slurry without any lumps.

How to fry Veggie Patties

  • Make ball-sized small patties as same as the size of the burger buns from the veggie mixture. 
  • Cover the veggie patties and keep them aside.
  • Now dip the patties (cutlets) in the flour slurry evenly and pour the rest of the breadcrumbs onto the plate.
  • Coat both sides of the cutlets with breadcrumbs.
  • Similarly, prepare all the veg cutlets in the same manner and place them on a plate.
  • In a frying pan, heat oil.
  • Once the oil is hot enough, turn the flame on to medium heat.
  • Drop 2-4 cutlets depending on the size of your pan, and fry until they turn lightly browned.
  • Keep flipping the cutlets gently while frying to ensure even frying on all the sides. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Flip these patties gently a couple of times till the patties are even fried on all the sides and the outer layer becomes crisp and golden.
  • Remove the veggie patties on a tissue-lined plate.
  • Fry the remaining cutlet in the same manner.
  • Keep aside.

Achari Mayonnaise

  • In a small mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon of any kind of pickle.
  • Whisk the mixture very well and keep aside.

How to Assemble Veg Burger

  • Slice the burger buns into equal halves.
  • Place a pan, and heat some butter or oil.
  • Toast the burger buns on a pan on medium flame.
  • Spread prepared Achari mayonnaise on one side of the bun.
  • Place lettuce on it.
  • Add the prepared burger patty and top with a few slices of onion and tomato.
  • Apply green chutney on the second halve of the bun and place it over the burger.
  • Serve immediately with chips and salad.

Notes

  • If you are using fresh sweet corn and green peas, cook them until they are slightly tender before adding them to the patty mixture.
  • If the mixture looks soft or crumbles, then do add some more breadcrumbs and mix everything again very well.
  • You can also use a lightly roasted chickpea flour, rice flour, all-purpose flour, crushed oats, corn flakes, vermicelli, and semolina (sooji or rava) for binding the patties.
  • Instead of frying the patties, you can also bake them on a baking tray. Brush some oil over them. Place them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake until golden and crisp.
  • When toasting the buns, use oil instead of butter for a vegan option.
  • Additionally, you can add some shredded cheese or cheese slices for a cheesy burger. You can also have a topping of jalapeños, guacamole, grated carrots, tomato ketchup or sauce, hummus, and mustard sauce to make it more unique.
