Instructions
Creating the Dubai-Style Veggie Smash Burger (Paratha Bun) is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Veggie Patty: In a large bowl, combine the mashed black beans, cooked quinoa, grated carrots, chopped bell peppers, onion, garlic, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
2. Form Patties: Add flour gradually, mixing until the mixture holds together. Form the mixture into patties of your desired size.
3. Cook the Patties: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
4. Warm the Parathas: In the same skillet, lightly toast the parathas for about 1-2 minutes on each side until warm and slightly crispy.
5. Assemble the Burger: Place a warm paratha on a plate. Layer with fresh lettuce, followed by the veggie patty, and top with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, and avocado.
6. Add Sauces: Drizzle your choice of sauces over the toppings.
7. Top with Another Paratha: Place a second paratha on top to complete the burger.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Dubai-Style Veggie Smash Burger while it’s hot!
