Prep time : 10 mins ( assuming the curry is ready or you have steamed the veggies)
Cook time : 10 - 15 mins.
Makes : 6 mini burgers
Ingredients:
- Mini burger buns (called cocktail buns) - 6 nos
- Corn meal - 2 TBSP (divided use)
- Chundho / Tangy Mango chutney - 2 TBSPTomato Ketchup - 1 tsp
Low fat cheese slices - 1 or 2 (opt)
For the patties:
- Beetroot curry (or 1 large beetroot peeled, boiled and grated)
- Salt - to taste
- Potatoes - 2 medium (peeled, boiled and grated)
- Chaat Masala - 1 tsp
- Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
- Garam Masala - 1 tsp
- Green chillies - 1 or 2 (chopped fine)
- oil - 1 TBSP and spray as per use while pan tossing the patties.
Method:
1) Mix the boiled and grated veggies (please feel free to add in more as you wish). Add chopped onions too if you wish (I had run out of onions, so didnt add). If using a curry (like me), toss the beet curry in 1 TBSP oil before using and mashing up.
2) Add the dry masala powders, turmeric, salt (if you are using a leftover curry for the patties base, do tread carefully on the salt). Add chillies and mix well. Add 1 TBSP of cornmeal to give this a nice texture and also absorb the extra water if any.
3) Make into equal roundels and flatten lightly into patties. Roll them in the corn meal.
4) Heat a tava / skillet to medium heat. Place the beet patties in the skillet and spray cooking oil (very minimally) and let the patties slightly brown on both sides.
5) Meanwhile halve the burger buns horizontally and spread the chutneys liberally.
6) Once the patties are done to a nice golden brown, arrange them one by one within each burger. Place half of the cheese slice (opt.) and secure with a tooth pick ! Serve with tomato ketchup or just as it is !
