Veggie Burger Recipe | Vegetarian Burger 

     An easy and quick healthy burger option made with mixed veggie patties and cheese slice. it is an ideal quick and healthy meal and can be served for morning breakfast, lunch, dinner and also a snack. the recipe follows basic vegetable toppings and dressing as practised in indian street food outlets to make it more effective.

  

    Burger or sandwich recipes have been ultra-popular especially in urban indian cities. even though the burger and sandwich recipes are popularly served as a snack by much fast food vendor, but also gaining popularity for breakfast and lunch. one such simple and healthy burger recipe is the veggie burger recipe made with veggie patties.

    I have used a minimal approach when it comes to the vegetable toppings. as a matter of fact, i have used only sliced cucumber and tomato slices in terms of vegetable. i was planning to use sliced beetroot slices, lettuce and also boiled potato slices. but at the same time, i wanted to make something like street food. hence i finalised with the above 2 veggies. in addition, i also added pickled jalapeno, which is not a mandatory option, but would add the salty, sour taste to it. having said that, i have added all the necessary spices and flavour to the patty and it should be sufficient for this burger. to the patty mixture, i have added chaat masala which should supply the flavours for a street style veg burger.

TIPS,SUGGESTION AND VARIATION:

     Firstly, I  have used store-bought burger buns for this recipe and you can use any desired burger bun for it. in addition you can also use pav bread or even sandwich bread slices for this recipe. 

   Secondly, the patties are multipurpose and you can use it for roll, paratha and also for chaat recipes. 

    Lastly, the shape and thickness of the patties are completely optional and you can shape it to any desired shape or thickness. i personally like thick and meaty patties in my burger, but it is completely optional.
