Instructions

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.
