Steps

  1. 1 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add spray with a generous amount of PAM and add oil.
  2. 2 Add mustard seeds and saute for 30 seconds-till you hear popping noises.
  3. 3 Add curry leaves- BE CAREFUL, they pop hot oil!
  4. 4 Add onions and peppers- sweat for about 30 seconds.
  5. 5 Add chopped garlic, chilies and turmeric.
  6. 6 Saute for about 5-7 minutes, until the onions and peppers are soft.
  7. 7 Add peas and carrots mixture, cumin powder and salt.
  8. 8 Saute for about 7-10 minutes- you want all the veggies to be soft and cooked through.
  9. 9 Meanwhile in a small bowl, add the cubed tofu, a pinch of turmeric, cumin powder, coarse black pepper and some cayenne pepper (totally optional!).
  10. 10 Mix and set aside to marinate for a bit.
  11. 11 Once the veggies are cooked, add the tofu- saute until slightly brown and soft enough that it crumbles.
  12. 12 Add juice form half a lemon and half of the chopped cilantro.
  13. 13 Mix and add the diced boiled potato, and toss until everything is coated, soft and taste for salt/spices. Using a masher, mash the mixture until mushy and until the veggies are small. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, add a bit of the breadcrumbs and mix with your hands. Start forming into thick patties (mixture should make 4). If its still giving you a hard time, add more breadcrumbs. Make 4 patties, place on a plate and wrap with plastic wrap until ready to use.
  14. 14 In a small skillet sprayed with PAM over medium-high heat, add one patty at a time. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side- until browned and crispy.At the same time, saute the thick slices of onion, until charred and slightly soft.
  15. 15 Spread a generous amount of the chutney spread on each side on the bread, place burger, onions tomato and cilantro leaves.
  16. 16 Serve with a slice of lemon and reduced-fat chips on the side.
