Instructions

For homemade burger patties

  • Mix all the ingredients of the burger in a large mixing bowl. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts, and shape each of them into a burger patty with a slight dent in the center. The dent will prevent the burgers from shrinking. Place all the patties on a plate, cling wrap and keep in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Heat some oil in a grill pan and cook the burger patties, 5 minutes on each side or till done.
  • When the burgers are done, simply place a slice of cheese on each burger patty. In the same pan now fry the onion rings on high heat for few seconds along with salt, pepper powder, and soya sauce. Remove while it is still crispy and not soft and set aside.

For the beef burgers

  • Cut burger bun horizontally into two halves. Take the base of the burger bun and spread a tsp of burger sauce. Place the lettuce leaves, slices of tomatoes, pickled jalapenos according to your taste and then keep burger patties with melted cheese followed by the onion rings. Spread some burger sauce on the other half of the bun and place it on the burger. If you wish you can toast the whole burger on a pan or in the oven for a minute.
  • Serve hot.
