Veggie burger!

Hi all,

Am back! Yeah yeah too long a gap.... Agree and apologies!  Now, now, .... No need to be so upset am coming with some news...    " bun in the oven" describes my current situation precisely :)

Yup yup ... And half of the time I was busy throwing up to do any thinking or to try anything new... Bah the smell of oil and I ran as far as I can ...... Yeah, the story of most women .... Now this is one half part the other half is my long awaited trip to namma  Bengaluru did happen the travel was scary in my condition but had a great time with all my loved ones .... What more I did get to drink Cauvery water and breathe in my Bengaluru air.... No matter how much anyone argues that they aren't same and they re contaminated ..... I would say like the famous ad: tied ha hai par mere hai. :)

The pampering, the food, the love.... Oh felt great... I know I know too much of banter. Flavour will follow too will do my bantering in another post!

Back to my own kitchen after two months of break from kitchen is refreshing.  I did venture into making a veggie burger.  A healthy one while at that.  Now the cutlet, is what it's called mostly at least like I know the Indian version is.  I was introduced to cutlet by my father when I was very young at - The coffee house in mg road, Bangalore.  The first time I was however more worried about  holding the fork properly!  Then over frequent visits started enjoying the taste and over the years did try some of those ready cutlet powder blah blah... Still not to my satisfaction.

Finally, in my own kitchen made from scratch a healthy version of it and oh feels so good!  A regular version would have potato and green peas so I changed it into sweet potato and fresh sweet corn. No frozen please!  Simply don't like it. Boil both separately in salt water, peel, mash etc now add the spices I added a lil more salt, black pepper, red chili powder, coriander powder(only for flavour)and you could add garam masala(am not a fan of the store bought powder hence dint add) a little sprinkle of corn meal and bread crumbs (I used baked croutons powder) and mix it all with no water.  Egg would be added but I kept it pure veg :) this is how it looks:

 Now you can make dough balls out of it and pat it with the flat of your hand use a lil oil if it sticks to your hand.

 You can make this kind of flat patties and slide them on a Tava or thick bottom non stick pan add oil or butter per your liking slide these in and they come out like this:



And then I used cucumber tomatoes  and onion with some organic sauce and yum! It's ready. My mr. Perfect loved it :)



YAWN!!!  The home made whole wheat bun is for another day, another post.  Am lazy now  :) cya soon Ta Ta .....
