Veg aloo tikki burger recipe
Burger is very popular among the children and is one of the favorite evening and party snack. It is commonly remembered as mcaloo tikki burger and gives us watery taste buds. I prefer not to buy them from the fast food chains or local hawkers, but instead make them in a healthy way at home.
The most important thing that triggers me to make the aloo tikki burger at home is the patties. The patties can be made of mixed vegetables (carrots, green peas and capsicum), instead of just potato, to make it more healthy.
Another reason for my apprehension towards outside burgers are the high calorie mayonnaise they use. I have used hung curd to make the dip which is equally tasty and way more healthy. To make the tasty home made burger more nutritious we can use wheat buns instead of maida buns and add loads of veggies to it.
Since aloo tikki burger is very famous among adolescents and young working people, at times they don’t get time to prepare the vegetable or potato patties. In place of this they can instantly use ready made smiles or aloo fritters (Mccain ready made), which can be deep fried or grilled.
Aloo tikki burger or vegetable patties burger can be served with green chutney, tomato ketchup, mustard sauce and French fries.
