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.
Ingredients
  • 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)

Instructions
  1. For the tikkis
  2. Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.
  3. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into an even sized round and flatten the rounds to make tikkis.

  7. On the lower half of each bun spread 1 tsp of the tomato ketchup and place 2 lettuce leaves over it.
  8. Place a few onion slices, cucumber slices, tomato slices and sprinkle a little salt over it.
  9. Finally place 1 slice of cheese and 1 tikki cover with the remaining half of the bun and press it lightly.
  10. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 5 more burgers.
