Pumpkin Aloo Tikki Burger is a healthy recipe made with vegan Pumpkin Aloo Tikki and is flavored with raw mango (ambi), fresh salad, and cheese. This recipe uses mustard oil for frying the Tikki and market-bought Harvest Buns. To make this recipe pure vegan, one may have to choose vegan buns, vegan cheese, etc.
Why Pumpkin Tikki?
If you are reading my blog, you know that I have made many recipes using pumpkin and they have been amazingly rich in nutrition and taste. Moreover, these recipes are not as difficult as they seem to be. A few make use of the green pumpkin which is easily available in India. With experience, I have figured that the green pumpkin is best for savory dishes and the orange one suits the desserts made using pumpkin.
Ingredients Overview
The main ingredients for the Tikki are pumpkin, boiled potatoes along with spices. The other includes burger buns, cheese, and fresh salad. I always prefer to use locally available ingredients and would suggest that too. In the salad, I have used cucumber, tomato, and onions. One may also include lettuce, carrot, cabbage.
Ingredients Substitutes
The potato can be replaced with raw paneer (cheese). Pumpkin can be replaced with fresh zucchini. Trust me, these Pumpkin Tikki Burgers won’t disappoint you!
Recipe Insights
With all usual ingredients, I added grated raw pumpkin to mashed boiled potatoes, with spices and bread crumbs to absorb extra moisture and shaped like a round patty.
Pretty Simple. Those who are health-conscious may avoid deep frying these patties. I have deep-fried them for the burger recipe.
For the Pumpkin Cutlet, I had pan-fried. They also taste good. Once I fried the Tikkis in two batches, I started with making burgers.
Harvest Gold is great when it comes to fresh buns and I procured from it a day in advance. I love the sesame garnishing at the top of the buns and they look authentic and taste awesome! Feel free to use your local ones.
One may toss the buns on iron tawa with butter. I avoided that step. Only the one in pics were allowed to be butter-kissed for the shiny clicks!!
You may use vegan butter. Applying salads, Mayonnaise, Ketchup, and Cheese. Yeah, cheese melted as the tikkis were hot and given the temperature in India, even I almost melted while making these delicious burgers!!
How to make this Tikki Gluten-Free?
This Pumpkin Aloo Tikki can be made gluten-free by skipping the addition of bread crumbs. Also, this recipe can be made gluten-free by choosing the burger buns that are made with gluten-free flour.
