We all know that hamburgers or burgers are extremely popular in America. The hamburger has its origins in USA and Germany. Made with a thick patty, sauces and veggies sandwiched between two bread buns, the burger usually contains meat like ham, beef, or chicken. In India, over the past two decades, its vegetarian version too has gained popularity.
There are a ton of different burger recipes across the globe. Even the inside of many burgers looks extremely different. Veg burgers too have a variety in them. There are simple burgers with just Aloo patties and some veggies and then there are paneer burgers, double patty burgers etc. Making a veg burger can be taxing if you must make everything from scratch and don’t know how to go about it.
Follow this simple veg burger recipe at home and you will have restaurant-style food on your own counter in no time. In this recipe, we will use ITC Farmland Frozen green peas to make a delicious and thick Aloo patty since Farmland Frozen green peas are high-quality nutritionally rich frozen green peas that will amp up the patty. In addition, we will also use the ITC Master Chef Crispy French Fries, a frozen French fries product, as a side once we are done with our burger since burger and fries is the most perfect pair ever!
Recipe information
- Time: 50 minutes
- Serves 4-5
Ingredients
- 2-3 potatoes
- 2 carrots
- ½ frozen green peas
- 4 green chillies
- 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp Garam Masala
- Breadcrumbs
- Salt to taste
- Rice flour
- Gram Flour
- Corn flour
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil

- 1 pack of ITC Master Chef Crispy French Fries
- Butter
- Lettuce leaves
- 3-4 sliced Tomatoes
- 3-4 Sliced Onions
Procedure
- Steam or boil the veggies that are required to make the patty. These include frozen green peas, potatoes, and carrots. Steam them for about 5-7 minutes and mash them once cooled
- To this mashed mixture add spices like cumin powder, garam masala, salt, green chillies, black pepper powder and a pinch of red chilli powder and mix till it becomes a sticky but firm mixture
- Bring out the breadcrumbs and coat this mixture with breadcrumbs till they feel solid and not crumbly
- Divide this dough into smaller sections, one for each patty and flatten each section into a circular patty that fits the size of your burger bun
- In another bowl, add corn starch, salt and water and mix to form a thick batter
- Dip the patties into the batter, then coat them with breadcrumbs again and fry them in oil until they are golden brown
- Once done, use the same oil to fry ITC Master Chef Crispy French Fries until they are golden and crispy and set them aside
- For the burger sauce, mix mayonnaise with red chilli flakes, a little lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. If you have other ready-made sauces like a Tandoori mayo sauce, you can add it in for a different flavour
- Toast your burger buns with butter before assembling your burger. Add a layer of butter on both sides of the bun before placing the veg patty, along with a dash of the burger sauce and veggies. Finally, add the top bun and enjoy your burger
- For an additional cheesy flavour, you can also place a cheese slice above your patty to have a cheesy and loaded veg burger!
