Health and taste in one package! Don't eliminate burgers as unhealthy... give this healthy version a chance. Made using whole wheat burger buns and tikkis made with broken wheat, these provide loads of protein and calcium.
- For the tikkis
- ⅓ cup cooked broken wheat (dalia)
- 2 tbsp finely chopped carrots
- 2 tbsp finely chopped french beans
- 2 tbsp boiled sweet corn kernels (makai ke dane)
- 2 medium sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 slice of whole wheat bread
- ½ tsp finely chopped green chillies
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch) powder
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)
- 1 tsp oil for cooking
- salt to taste
- Other ingredients
- 6 brown bread buns
- 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 12 lettuce leaves
- 2 medium sized onions, sliced
- 2 green cucumbers, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- salt to taste
- 6 cheese slices
- For the tikkis
- Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into an even sized round and flatten the rounds to make tikkis.
- Heat a non-stick pan and cook each tikki using ½ tsp oil until both sides are golden brown in colour. Keep aside.
- How to serve
- Cut each burger bun horizontally into two and toast them lightly in an oven or on a tava (griddle).
- On the lower half of each bun spread 1 tsp of the tomato ketchup and place 2 lettuce leaves over it.
- Place a few onion slices, cucumber slices, tomato slices and sprinkle a little salt over it.
- Finally place 1 slice of cheese and 1 tikki cover with the remaining half of the bun and press it lightly.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 5 more burgers.
