The Daily Saga 4 Soya Meat Patty Burger
Shifting can be sooo exciting .... you bet😆 No, I am just kidding! Lots of mixed feelings though.
One afternoon, I was trying to finish my reserves in the refrigerator and didn’t have meat to make burgers for my kids. So I decided to make a veggie burger and topped with Mango Chunda ( Gujarati sweet pickle or marmalade, shared by a friend )
Ingredients
1. 1 cup (50g) soya meat/chunks
2. ½ cup small to medium-sized beans, chopped
3. ½ cup small to medium-sized carrots, chopped
4. ¾ cup boiled and mashed potato (or you can use boiled potato cubes)
5. 1 onion, finely chopped
6. ½ tsp whole cumin seeds
7. ½ fennel seeds
8. 1 ½ tsp – 2 tsp garlic-ginger paste
9. ½ tsp red chili powder
10. ½ coriander powder
11. Finely chopped coriander leaves (optional)
12. 1 egg white, lightly beaten and seasoned with salt and pepper/or slurry with flour
13. Whole wheat/regular bread crumbs
14. Burger buns cut into halves
15. Iceberg lettuce washed and dried
16. Mayonnaise
17. Mango Chunda
18. oil
Here We Go
1. Soak the soya chunks in hot water for 15 minutes.
2. Squeeze out the water and coarsely grind them in a mixer grinder or you can cut them into small pieces.
3. In a Kadai/cooking dish add oil cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and onion. Sauté till transparent.

Chef's Whisper
1. If you’re using boiled potato cubes then cook them with the veggies towards the end.
2. You can use cheese slices as well.
3. These burgers can also be used as patties and eaten as is.
4. If you want to avoid spices and add simple seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika, fresh or dried oregano)
