Vegetable Burger
by Tarla Dalal
Sumptuous burgers made with mixed vegetable patties, crisp lettuce, tomato sauce, and all the works. What makes this version of Vegetable Burger rather special is that the perfectly crisp, golden coloured patties are cooked on a non-stick tava with minimal oil, yet they taste as crisp and succulent as the usual deep-fried ones.
