To serve 4 adults or children you need:

INGREDIENTS
Potatoes - 3
Carrot, Peas, Beans - 1/2 cup
Onion - 2
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Green Chillies - 1 or 2
Garam Masala Powder - 1/2 tsp
Lime - 1
Slices of bread - 4

Salt to taste
Cooking Oil

Mayonaise to taste
Tomato - 1 to 2
Lettuce - 10-12 leaves
Britannia Cheese slices - 6

TOOLS
Vessel or Pateela, Cooker, Knife, Work board, Frying pan, Grinder

The burpy TODO
Boil the potatoes in the cooker till well done - Peel and mash once cooled.
Chop a medium sized carrot and 5-6 bean stalks into 1 cm pieces. Place the cut vegetables along with a handful of peas into the pateela, add water and salt and put to boil for about 15 mins. Strain and squeeze out the water once boiled.
Cut one onion, the chillies and corriander fine and grate the ginger piece.
Grind the slices of bread in the grinder.
Add all the above i.e. mashed potatoes, boiled vegetables, onions, chillies, bread crumbs, corriander, ginger paste and the lime juice into a pateela and mash together to form a dough.
Make flat about 1 cm thick and 2-2.5 inch in diameter tikkis of the dough with your hands. Shallow fry them in medium hot cooking oil till both the sides are well browned and crisp.
Now slit the burger buns and spread both the inner sides with ample Mayonaise.
Place one side of the bread bun on your working board - layer it with a few slices of tomato, a few slices of onion, a few leaves of lettuce, one burger tikki you prepared above, a slice or two of cheese and and top this with the other side of the burger bun. You could toothpick your burger in the centre all the way to the bottom to keep the layers from slipping away.
Serve hot with Tomato or Mustard sauce ... ENJOY!!
