Veggie Burgers

This has got to be the weirdest burger I made, yet insanely delicious. Can you imagine, I made the patties with left over Capsicum, Potato and Chick peas subzi? I was not sure if they would hold up and stay firm or be mushy. But they turned out really firm and crisp. I did not have to use a drop of oil to fry them. Just used some cooking spray.

Subji:

Capsicum - 3
Potato - 1
Cooked Chickpeas - 1 cup
Onion - 1
Green chili - 2
Ginger - 1 inch
Cumin powder - 1 tsp
Red chili powder - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Turmeric - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Fennel Seeds - 1 tsp

In a pan, heat the oil. Add the fennel seeds, and when they splutter, add the chopped onions, green chilis and chopped ginger. Fry till onion is translucent.
Add the chopped capsicum, potato and cook till soft. Add the chickpeas and the the masalas and salt.
Cook till the vegetables are cooked through.

Patties: 
Subji
Cracked wheat(Fine) - 1/2 cup
Gram Flour - 3/4 cup
Cilantro - 1/2 cup

Mix all the ingredients and form patties. Heat a non stick pan and spray with non-stick spray.
Cook till crisp on each side.

For the Burgers:

Veggie patties - 8
Whole Wheat buns - 4
Lettuce - 1/2
Cucumber - 1
onion - 1
Tomatoes - 2
Yogurt - 1/4 cup
Hot sauce and ketchup

Shred the lettuce and slice the veggies into rounds.
Toast the buns and layer with the veggies.
Top with a couple of the patties, drizzle the sauce and the ketchup and yogurt. 
Serve with chips or any sides of your choice.
