Complete Veggie burger meal is on my menu today and so is yours. :-)
Nothing exciting than baking your own burger bun.. Isn't it? I did dream of doing it myself one day. So happy I did it today. Just loving the baking experience. Ofcourse it takes some patience to make it. :-) But believe me when you get such wonderful results, you feel it's worth to wait.
I followed Chef John's recipe to make the buns. Sharing the same here.
Once I had thesd lovely buns ready, I was more than ready to make aloo tikki ( potato patty) veggie burgers.
So let's start with it.
Burger buns
Ingredients ( to make 8 burger buns)
1 package (1/4 ounce) dry active yeast
2 cups all purpose flour( Maida) (seive it to remove any lumps or impurities)
1 cup warm water ( not to hot, 105°f.. you shud be able to touch it with ease)
1 egg
3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
3 tbsp powdered white sugar ( sieved)
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
For brushing and topping over the buns
1 egg beaten (can use water instead)
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp sesame seeds
Procedure
1) Put 1 pkg dry active yeast in a container or stand mixer container.
2) Add 1/2 cup of flour and 1 cup warm water.
3) Mix it well. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes. You will see bubbles forming.
4) Now add 1 whole egg, melted butter, sugar, salt and rest of the flour.
5) We need to knead a elastic sticky dough. Good to have a hand beater or stand mixer to knead the dough. Knead at low speed.
If not available, first mix the ingredients well with a whisk or spatula and then knead a dough with hand.
6)You can use additional flour to make the dough of right consistency.
It should be soft, tending to stick but not really sticking when you insert your finger tip.
Don't make it dry by adding more flour.
7)Now apply olive oil on all sides of container and move the dough such that it is coated with oil on all sides.
8)Form a ball of the dough moving palms from top to bottom, trying to get a smooth surface on top. Now cover the container with an aluminum foil. Let it rest for 2 hours in a warm place. I usually keep it in oven rack.
9) After 2 hours, you will see the dough risen to double. Now spread some flour on your work platform. Pat it with your fingers all over to form a big rectangle such that you can cut 8 equal pieces from it.
9) Now take a knife and cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
10)Now take each piece and form a round ball. By moving palm form top to bottom, making sure you have smooth surface without any cuts or holes on top.
11)Flatten each ball in round patties shape, patting with your fingers all over.
You will have your buns of the same size.
12)dust the buns slightly with very little flour. Place them in baking tray lined with wax paper. Leave good amount of space between each bun. Loosely cover all the buns with a plastic and keep it in warm place. Let it rest for an hour.
13)After an hour, you will see the buns, risen on top. Don't flatten it now. Let it stay like that.
14) Mix a beaten egg and 1 tbsp milk.
Now very gently brush it on all the buns. Spread some sesame seeds on each bun.
15) Preheat your oven to 375°f. Bake the buns for 13-15 minutes. You will see brown color once they are done. Take them out and let them cool down.
So, the beautiful burger buns are ready. Make burgers of your choice using these buns.
I made quick aloo tikkis ( potato patties) to form veggie burgers. Used these ingredients for it. You can use your vegetables and sauces of your choice.
1) Thick Coriander Chutney (blend: 1 bunch fresh coriander+ 1-2 mint leaves + salt+ 1/4 tsp sugar+1 tbsp curd+ 1/2 tsp corainder cumin powder, green chilli one, 1/2 tsp ginger chopped, 1 tsp lemon juice, 5-7 roasted cashewnuts.)
2) mustard sauce
3) tomato ketchup
4) mayonnaise sauce
5) lettuce leaves, thin sliced onion rings, thin sliced tomatoes
6) For aloo tikkis:
3 boiled potatoes peeled and mashed, 1/4 cup green onions chopped finely, carrot chopped finely, cabbage chopped finely. 2 green chillies chopped finely, ginger chopped finely ( 1 tsp), 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander. You can use blanched peas too.
Dry ingredients: Bread crumbs around one cup( use some in patties batter to form a thick batter and rest for coating the patties) , 1 tsp salt or more, 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper , 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp dried mango powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala powder.
Procedure to make tikkis(patties)
1) Transfer all the ingredients in a container. Mix it well. Taste it and if you need to add any more spice add it now.
2) Now rub little oil in your palm. Form medium sized balls and faltten each to form round patties. Coat each of patties with bread crumbs.
3) Shallow fry the patties on a non stick pan until it is brown on each side. So the beautiful brown burger patties are ready.
Procedure to line up burger. You can do it your own way :-).
1) Cut each burger bun into two halves. Spread some butter on each open side and lightly toast it on a heated pan. You can skip this step if you want.
Spread some green coriander chutney on the base.
Place the potato patty here. Spread some tomato ketchup over it.
Line 2-3 tomato slices. Sprinkle some salt and pepper. Line up an onion slice. Sprinkle some salt and pepper.
Spread some mustard sauce and mayonnaise.
Add a layer of lettuce over it. Sprinkle some salt and pepper or all spices powder/garam masala. Top it with the other half of bun.
Enjoy the home style veggie burger at home. Make some potato or sweet potato or banana fries with it. I am sure you and your family will love it..
