Veg Burger Recipe (Veggie Burger) Recipe

• Begin by combining mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chili flakes, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Add salt to taste, and a squeeze of lemon juice if the mayo isn’t tangy enough. Stir well and place in the refrigerator for later use.
• In a large pot, add 2 ½ to 3 cups of water along with a trivet or rack. Cover and bring the water to a rolling boil.
• Rinse and prepare the potatoes by peeling and cutting them into 1-inch cubes. Also, prepare the French beans by trimming the ends and chopping them finely. Place potatoes and beans into a steamer basket and steam for about 5 to 7 minutes until halfway cooked.
• Meanwhile, peel and chop the carrots into 1-inch pieces. Add the carrots and green peas to the steamer once the potatoes are half done. Continue to steam until all the vegetables are fork-tender.
• Transfer the steamed vegetables into a mixing bowl to cool. Once cool, mash them well before adding garam masala, coriander powder, finely chopped green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
• Gradually incorporate bread crumbs, powdered poha, or flour to the vegetable mixture, adding just enough to achieve a firm, yet slightly sticky consistency.
• Shape the mixture into patties, making them either thick or thin according to your preference.
• Prepare a batter by combining gram flour or corn starch with a pinch of salt and a little water to create a thick consistency.
• Spread bread crumbs or panko crumbs onto a plate.
• Flatten the veggie patties to match the size of your burger buns. If the mixture is sticky, dust the patties with a bit of flour or corn starch to ease handling.
• Dip each patty into the batter to coat, then roll in the breadcrumbs, ensuring even coverage.
• Allow the coated patties to rest for 10 minutes so the crumbs adhere properly.
• Wash lettuce leaves, using a vinegar-water solution if preferred. Rinse and pat dry with kitchen tissues.
• Cut onions and tomatoes into thin slices, deseeding the tomatoes if needed.
• To pan fry, heat a skillet with 1½ to 2 tablespoons of The OG Oil. Once hot, cook the patties on medium-high until golden brown and crisp, adding more oil as needed during flipping.
• For shallow frying, heat ½ cup of The OG Oil in a pan and fry the patties until they are golden and crisp on both sides. Place on a wire rack to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, reduce the remaining oil in the pan to a minimum, then toast the buttered buns on the same skillet until lightly browned.
• To assemble, position a veggie patty on the toasted bun bottom, add lettuce, onion, and tomato slices, and top with the prepared sauce. Place the top part of the bun and serve.
