Beetroot and oats pairs quite well and gives such a lovely taste I am sure you won't miss meat at all when you have the burger. I have gone with the Mexican flavors here with taco seasoning, coriander tomato salsa and buttery avocado so u wont look around for mustard or ketchup.
Plant based burgers need not be boring at all !
Ingredients for burger patty:
Beetroot - 1 large
Potato - 2 small
Ginger- 1 small piece chopped finely
Garlic - 3- chopped finely
Cilantro - finely chopped
Taco seasoning -1 to 1 1/2 tsp ...or make your own homemade taco seasoning mix (recipe given below)
For binding and shallow frying :
Oats -5 -7 tbsp + more (Fast cooking variety)
Cooking oil-3- 4tsps
Method:
1..Dry roast the oats for 5 mts in sim until nutty aroma comes then powder it to almost fine.
Steam the beetroot and potato together until cooked not mushy ( Do not immerse in water and boil)
2. Rough chop the beetroot first then coarsely grind with all the spices and seasoning.
3. Peel and mash the potato when it is hot add some powdered oats and mix everything together until its no more sticky. Add more powdered oats if required.
4. Make equal size portion balls.
5. Flatten each one and roll it in oats powdered.
6. Shape it nicely as shown in pics by rolling between ur palms on a plate this ensures a neat flat surface.
Dust off excess powder and refrigerate for 1 hr before frying.
Or freeze in a tight box lined with parchment or butter paper in between each on.
7. Need not thaw simply heat few tsps of cooking oil and shallow fry one side until light brown flip carefully add more oil if required and cook other side too. Do not over crowd the pan. Leave 2-3 inches space between each.
