Who says we cannot prepare our very own burgers right at the comfort of our homes? Here, learn how you can easily make delicious burgers at home.
Firstly, prepare fresh sesame buns
To prepare homemade sesame buns, you will need some warm water, yeast, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/3 cup of milk powder, salt, butter, 5 cupfuls of flour, and sesame seeds. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until it turns into soft and stretchy dough. Cut the dough in even, round portions, sprinkle them with sesame seeds, and bake the buns at 350° F for 15 minutes.
Prepare a wholesome vegetable patty
Patty is the base of a burger. To make a vegetable patty, you will need a cupful of shredded carrots, mashed boiled potatoes, sliced onions, salt, and bread crumbs. Mix all these ingredients in a bowl, make circular shapes from the mixture. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan, then cook both sides of the patty over medium heat until it turns golden-brown.
And, here's how to make mayonnaise at home
Mayonnaise is a commonly-used addition which makes your burger taste heavenly. To make mayonnaise at home, you will need avocado oil, lemon juice, salt, white wine vinegar, mustard, and egg. Add all the ingredients in a jar. Let them settle for a minute, use a stick blender to mix all the ingredients firmly and there you go!
Final plating
Now, it is time to assemble your burger. Start by cutting open the sesame buns, place freshly cut tomatoes on the lower bun, then place your vegetable patty above it, apply mayonnaise firmly over the buns and close it like a sandwich. Serve fresh with tomato ketchup and relish the amazing taste of the burgers, while appreciating the hidden chef inside you.
