Ingredients

For Burger Patty

1 large potato, boiled & peeled
1/2 cup boiled rajma (red kidney beans)
1/2 cup steamed mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, sweet corn or any vegetables of your choice)
1 teaspoon freshly ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground green chilli (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
1 teaspoon chat masala
Oil for pan-frying
Salt to taste

Other Ingredients

4 burger buns
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
1 small tomato, thinly sliced
Tomato Ketchup to taste
4 cheese slices
1/2 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Method

- Combine all the ingredients for the burger patty (except oil) in a large bowl and mash them using a potato masher.

- Grease your palms with oil. Take a portion of the mixture and shape it into a ball. Flatten it gently between your palms and give it the shape of a burger patty. Repeat the same process to make patties from the remaining mixture.

- Heat a non-stick flat-pan and grease it with oil. Gently place the patties on the pan about 1 inch apart from each other so that they can be flipped easily when done from one side.

- Cook the patties on medium heat and flip them over carefully using a spatula when golden brown and crisp from one side. Add little oil and cook till the other side becomes crisp and golden brown as well.

- Heat butter on the same pan and sprinkle a teaspoon of sesame seeds on it. Place the burger buns on it and lightly toast them from both sides.

- To assemble the burger, place a cheese slice on one side of the burger bun. Then place the burger patty and spread tomato ketchup generously on it. Top it up with cucumber & tomato slices. Cover it with the other part of burger bun.

- Serve hot with potato chips & pina-colada drink.
