Veggie Indian Street Burger
Utensils
- Chopping board
- Sharp knife
- Large pan
- Non stick frying pan
Ingredients
- 600 g Sweet potato
- 600 g Potatoes
- 25 g Butter
- 4 cm Ginger
- 4 Cloves of garlic
- 1 Fresh large red chilli
- 1½ tsp Black mustard seeds
- 1½ tsp Garam masala
- 1 Pomegranate
- 3½ tbs Mango chutney
- 5 tbsp Natural yoghurt
- 30 g Fresh mint
- 4 Soft rolls
- 40 g Bombay mix
Instructions
- First you need to give the potatoes a good scrub and then chop them into chunks that are approximately 2cm
- Boil a pan of water and then add a little salt and boil them for around 10 minutes, drain and set aside
- Take your mango chutney, add in some pomegranate seeds, not too much but you do want to loosen up the chutney a bit and then add in a nice amount of the seeds. Set aside
- Place the mint leaves in a blender along with the yoghurt and blitz it until it's nice and smooth, it'll look lovely and vibrant. Place aside
- Meanwhile, peel the ginger by rubbing the back of a spoon down it
- Peel the garlic and chop up the chilli pepper – if you don't want it too hot then remove the seeds
- Now put the garlic, ginger and chilli in a large non stick frying pan along with the garam masala, the mustard seeds and the butter
- Fry for a minute or two and then add in the softened potatoes
- Now get your potato masher give the mixture a good mashing and season with salt and pepper
- Now you want the mixture to get nice and crispy so keep frying it until they crisp up
- Once they crisp give it all a good stir and then fry it until it's crispy once again – it'll take a fair time, around 15 – 20 minutes
- Flatten down the mixture so it's nice and even as it's easier to divide
- Remove from the heat and then use the back of two wooden spoons (you don't want to scratch your nice non stick pan) to divide the mixture into 4
- Roughly shape them into round burger shapes, they really don't need to be perfect, these are rustic burgers
- You need to keep frying the burgers until they are golden brown and crispy on each side, again it'll take a little while but it's worth it
- Once cooked, give the base of the bun a generous layer of the mint yoghurt
- Then pop the burger on top of it
- Next another generous helping, this time of the lovely mango chutney mix
- To top it off, put some bombay mix on top for a wonderful crunch to the burger
- Place the top of the bun on top and serve
- Enjoy!
