"What would you like to have for dinner?", I asked the kids.
"McDonalds!", the chorused, with big grins, knowing fully well I wouldn't let them have 'junk' in the middle of the week.
But we're they in for a surprise. What they had for dinner was a delicious and healthy take on their greasy aloo tikki burger. Presenting the beetroot- sweet potatoe burger!
250 gms beetroot
250 gms sweet potatoes
1 onion, chopped fine
Salt, red chilli powder, garam masala powder to taste
2 tbsp corn flour
2-3 tbsp sooji/ rawa
Butter
Method
Pressure cook the sweet potatoes and the beetroots.
Peel the beetroots, and chop into small pieces
Peel and mash the sweet potatoes.
Add the beetroots and onions to the mashed potatoes, along with all the spices and mix well.
Make a batter with the corn flour
Fashion the mix into 'tikkis', coat on both sides with corn flour, press into the sooji, and allow it to stand for about 10 minutes
Shallow fry the tikkis with butter.
Place between home-made buns, put a layer of mint chutney and a cheese slice. Voila! Healthy burgers ready!
Burger buns were made by following the basic bread recipe, with 1 cup whole wheat flour replacing the regular flour. The dough was fashioned into balls, and the top evened out by tucking it into the bottom of the burger. Sesame seeds were sprinkled prior to baking.
