Beef Burger with Egg

Ingredients(for 1 burger with 1 egg each)

• 1 cup Soya granules (soaked and drained)
• 2 Whole wheat burger buns (preferably homemade or multigrain)
• 2 Eggs (free-range preferred)
• 1/2 Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 Green chili (finely chopped) - optional
• 1/2 tsp Garam masala
• 2 tbsp Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper powder
• to taste Salt
• 2 Lettuce leaves (washed and dried)
• 1 Tomato (sliced)
• 2 tsp Olive oil (for pan-frying)

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak soya granules in hot water for 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess water and set aside.

   5 minutes

   Ensure soya granules are well-drained for best texture.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the soya granules, chopped onion, green chili, coriander, garam masala, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and shape into two firm patties.

   5 minutes

   Press the patties tightly so they hold together during cooking.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tsp olive oil on a non-stick tawa or skillet. Pan-fry the patties on medium heat for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown and crispy.

   8 minutes

   Do not flip patties too soon—wait for a crust to form.

4. 4

   In the same pan, add a little oil and crack eggs one by one. Cook to your preferred doneness (sunny side up or over easy). Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

   4 minutes

   Cover the pan for soft yolks or cook uncovered for firmer eggs.
