Ingredients
Before we begin, gather the following ingredients to ensure you have everything ready:
For the Veggie Patty:
- 2 medium-sized potatoes (boiled and mashed)
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, corn) – boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Oil for shallow frying
For Assembling the Burger:
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices of cheese
- 1 tomato (sliced)
- 1 cucumber (sliced)
- Lettuce leaves
- Mayonnaise or any burger sauce
- Ketchup (optional)
- Butter (for toasting the buns)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Veggie Patty
- Combine the boiled and mashed potatoes in a large bowl with the mashed mixed vegetables.
- Add chopped onions, green chilies, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and grated cheese (if using) into the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Gradually add breadcrumbs to the mixture, stirring continuously, until the mixture is firm enough to shape into patties.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into round patties that are about the size of your burger buns.
Step 2: Fry the Patties
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Shallow fry the veggie patties in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy on both sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once done, remove the patties from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 3: Toast the Burger Buns
- Slice your burger buns in half horizontally.
- Heat a little butter in a pan, and toast the buns on both sides until they are slightly golden and crisp. This step adds a nice crunch to the burger.
Step 4: Assemble the Burger
- Spread mayonnaise or your favorite burger sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce.
- Add a veggie patty and top it with a slice of cheese.
- Arrange tomato and cucumber slices on top of the cheese for extra crunch.
- Spread ketchup (if desired) on the top half of the bun, then place it over the veggies and patty to complete the burger.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once assembled, your veg cheeseburgers are ready to serve!
- Serve with a side of fries, chips, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
Tips for the Perfect Veg Cheese Burger
- Customize the flavor: If you like it spicy, add more green chilies or sprinkle some hot sauce on the burger.
- Cheese variation: Swap the regular cheese slice for mozzarella or cheddar if you prefer a different flavor profile.
- Crispier patties: For an extra crispy patty, you can double-coat them with breadcrumbs or add some crushed cornflakes to the mix.
- Vegan option: You can easily make this burger vegan by skipping the cheese and using a plant-based alternative, along with vegan mayonnaise or sauce.
