Vegetarian / vegan Hotdog patty/ burger patty

This one is my most favorite recipe so far now and I have kept about 20 patties frozen to be used for the kids lunchboxes. This recipe makes about 28 hot dog size patties. It does take time but is full of protein, fiber and calcium and sooper yummy to taste.

You will need the following ingredients for the patties and oil to fry. I would recommend sunflower oil as it doesn't have any strong smell to it.

Potatoes - 2
Bread crumbs - (I used homemade of 2 wholemeal breads)
Chick peas - 1 can
Red kidney beans - 1 can
Paneer (cottage cheese) - 1 cup full (if you are vegan use tofu - tastes brilliant and easier to use)
Beetroot - 1 grated
Soya chunks - 1 + 1/2 cups
cornflour - 2 tablespoons (not shown in the picture)
salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste
Peprika - 1 spoon





Preparation 
 Boil 2 medium-big potatoes. Then peel and mash them.
Grate the beetroot and keep aside.
Take soya chunks in a grinder and grind into dry fin powdered form.
If you don't have canned boiled hickpeas and red kidney beans you an soak these overnight and boil them. Afterwards mash them and keep aside 

Recipe

Mix all the ingredients together and mix well. Add salt, paprika and pepper. At this stage you may want to use more spices but trust me as such these taste heavenly. Add cornflour to bind them together well as we don't want them to break while frying.



The ready mixture will look something like this.


Give the desired shape. I have made them into long ones you may want to make round.


Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. very low flame may make your patties absorb more oil than required and very high will make them under cooked from inside.


Keep turning them at regular intervals as you don't want them to get burnt or not properly cooked. 



When they are ready they would look like this. 



You can also have them for snacking or they are ready to be used for filling up a burger or a hot dog. Do let me know how did you like the taste and also take the feedback of your children and let me know.

Till then, Happy Cooking !!!!
