Hara Tava Burger ( Burgers and Smoothies Recipe)

There are many exciting aspects to the hara tava burger! most notably, there is the unique cutlet made up of green chana and spinach, which explains the name of this burger! then, there is a zesty side that adults will love, all thanks to the spicy mayonnaise and the cheesy, herby potato wedges. I would like to draw your attention to the bread slices used in this recipe and in many others… they play a very important role, acting as a binding agent and also ensuring that the cutlet is soft.
