Three Bean Burger ( Burgers and Smoothies Recipe)

As the name three bean burger suggests, this high-protein delight combines three tasty beans—rajma, chawli and kabuli chana—with vegetables. Paneer and bread crumbs act as binding agents, while the uncooked salsa imparts a mexican touch. No fuss, easily made, but you just need to remember to make the curd spread in advance as the curds have to be hung for half an hour. This will help to remove any excess water and give a thick spread—after all, nobody likes a soggy burger!
