Veg Mexican Burger
#HFFMonsoon_special
Mexican Burger is basically a vegetarian burger made using red beans (rajma), sweet potatoes and sweet corn. Some added condiments like garlic powder and smoked paprika give it a lovely flavour. In Mumbai, nowadays we get a lot of varieties of burgers. Mexican Burger too is one such available here. You can find some crispy nacho chips added in this burger, which I too chose to go alongwith, as it gives this burger an added flavour and crunch.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
To make Mexican Burger, first soak 1 cup of Red Beans in sufficient water overnight or for about 8-10 hours. You will get approx 2 1/4 cups beans after soaking.
* Step 2
Next, rinse thoroughly and boil it in approximately 3 – 3 1/2 cups of water in a pressure pan for 8 whistles.
* Step 3
Open the pressure pan only when the pressure releases naturally and drain the beans. Set aside to cool.
* Step 4
In the meantime, roughly tear about 2-3 brown bread slices into small pieces and grind them in a mixer grinder to get fresh breadcrumbs.
* Step 5
Once the beans cool down completely, grind them coarsely without using any water, in a mixer grinder.
* Step 6
In a mixing bowl, add this ground mixture, mashed sweet potatoes, sweet corn kernels, fresh breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chopped coriander and salt to taste.
* Step 7
Mix well and divide the mixture into 5-6 portions and shape them into patties.

Mix together the rice flour and water to make a slightly thin slurry.

Set these in a dish and refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour.

Next, heat a griddle and add oil to it for shallow frying the patties.
* Step 14
Release the patties into the oil and fry till they turn crispy and golden brown on both sides. Drain onto an absorbent paper and set aside.

To assemble the burgers, first slice each bun horizontally and spread some chilli mayo dip on both the sliced parts.
