We all love to eat some snacks along with our coffee or tea during the day.  In the morning, usually, something very light is taken like biscuits, light mixture, chips, corn mixture.  But in the evening, we want to consume something a little more solid and filling. The usual choices that people go for are Vada Paav, Missal Pav, Samosa, Kachori, Sandwich.  Recently, I came across the idea of making Tawa Veg Burger, imagine Western Burger with Indian Touch.

How to make Tawa Veg Burger

The name seems so much Indian form the outset.  But it has every element that makes it that much western.  Even though it has a fancy name, the ingredients are simple that are available in every household.   Let me share the simple recipe that you are trying right away.

2. Add Onion and fry until light golden brown.
3. Add Tomato, Capsicum, Paneer, and Jeera into the Tawa.

The mixture that was prepared can be called as the Base Filling.

Important Tips

• Avoid trying to heat the vegetables too long in the oil to maintain the crunchiness.
• Add other vegetables like Cabbage, Carrot, Broccoli.
• Always keep the Tawa on low-flame to avoid over-heating.
• Avoid adding too much cheese as it can become heavy to consume.
