Veg burger, Veggie burger recipe

Veggie burger/ Vegetable burger is a wholesome and delicious sandwich consisting of burger bun/ bread, vegetable patty and loaded with fresh veggies and cheese. For me burgers are always a filling and healthy option that can be consumed any time of the day. Though it takes little time to cook the patty other things are just chopping veggies and assembling which is easy to do. This recipe us all about a simple and very basic veggie burger recipe prepared completely in home style which tastes good and fresh. Homemade burgers are more healthy (of course the restaurant ones are tasty) as the patties are made fresh and is tawa fried which is not too oily and can be consumed by anyone. For this recipe I used those veggies like lettuce, purple cabbage, tomatoes, onion and cucumber that I usually like the burger to hold and it can be replaced with other veggies if your choice. I have used cheddar cheese sheets for my burger for that restaurant style look , which can be skipped or replaced with any cheese of your choice. So anytime you get bored of eating burgers at restaurant try making burgers at home withe any patty of your choice. So lets get to the making!!

Coat the batter coated cutlets well in bread crumbs. When coated well keep it aside. Repeat the whole process till all the cutlet mixture is coated.
Heat oil in a tawa and place the bread crumbs coated cutlets one by one and pan fry them in medium flame till both sides turn golden brown. When done transfer it to a plate with paper towel.
Now lets prepare the burgers. Cut burgers buns horizontally . Apply the base burger bun with mayonnaise, place some lettuce, over it the patty that we prepared, over it the tomato slices, cumber slices, onion slices and finally the cheese slice.
