Instructions

Prep:

  • Soak ½ cup of the 9 bean (multigrain) plus handful of peanuts overnight. Coarse blend this with salt (to taste) and 3 greenchilies (to taste).
  • Add lemon juice or MTR Lemon rice mix. Then add 3 tablespoonfuls of Rava or any dry Vada mix to absorb any excess water.

Option 1:

  • Steam this for 12- 15 minutes in a mould slightly smaller size than the burger bun you will use. I am showing in two sizes.

Option 2:

  • Cook in microwave on high for 4-6 minutes (microwaves vary)
    Make the size you want after cooking in microwave.

Option 3:

  • Directly shallow fry them on the electric mould.

Making the burgers:

  • Take out the burgers and dip them in the coating and roll in the bread crumbs. Shallow fry them.

Assemble the burger:

  • On a pan fry the burger bun till golden brown. Apply the toppings you like – mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise or any chutney like coriander, mint or ginger chutney preferably not watery type.
  • Then add lettuce, tomato, pickle and pickled jalapeno peppers.

Garnishing:

  • Serve with salad, fruit or potato chips.
