Veg. bhaji burger

These veggie burgers are amazing!  I love a good meat burger like anyone, but these were out of the world.

Ingredients to make 4 patties
- 3 medium potatoes (boiled, peeled, and mashed)
- 1 medium red onion (sliced)
- 1 large carrot (long grated)
- 1 bunch of cilantro (roughly chopped)
- a small fist full of spring onion greens (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp of olive oil
- 3 table spoons of gram/chickpea flour (besan)
- 2 table spoons of water
- 1 tea spoon of cumin powder
- 1 tea spoon of coriander powder
- 1 tea spoon of red chili powder
- 1 tea spoon of turmeric powder
- 1 tea spoon of salt
- 1 tea spoon of black pepper
- 1 tea spoon of chaat masala (optional)

For the rest of the burger
- 4 Hawaiian buns or soft toastable burger buns (toasted)
- 4 small poppadoms (crushed)
- Mango salsa - I have a great recipe here
- Mint-cilantro yogurt paste or mint chutney if you have it
- A nice piece of iceberg lettuce or some other crunchy green of your preference

Prep and cooking
Put all the ingredients for the patties together and kneed them well.  You could also leave the besan out and then coat the patties with it before frying if you want.  Make into 4 patties about an inch thick.  

Put a bit of olive oil on a hot pan and set the burgers to fry - about 5 minutes on each side on medium high heat.  In the mean time, toast the burger buns and microwave the poppadoms and crush them.

Take some cilantro, mint, green chili, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper and a couple of heaped spoons of yogurt and blend it together to make the yogurt chutney.

Putting it all together
1. Take a spoon of the yogurt chutney and put it on the burger base bun.  
2. Crunchy green leaf of choice
3. Sprinkle some crushed poppadoms
4. Place the burger patty on top
5. A dollop of the mango salsa or mango chutney
6. Put another spoon of yogurt on the top bun

Eat!
