Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Whole grain burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Onion
- 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 10 pieces Mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Once boiled, let them cool, peel, and mash them in a mixing bowl.
Blanch the green peas by plunging them into boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and add to the mashed potatoes.
Grate the carrot and add it to the potato mixture.
Mix in chickpea flour, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt into the potato-pea-carrot mixture.
Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the patties until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add additional olive oil as needed.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.
Prepare the mint yogurt sauce by blending low-fat yogurt, mint leaves, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth.
Lightly toast the whole grain burger buns on a dry skillet.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a patty, then a few slices of tomato and onion, and a dollop of mint yogurt sauce.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
