Steps

1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the onions and sweet corn and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute.
2. Add the kabuli chana, bread, besan, oats, chilli powder, salt and pepper, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep aside to cool.
3. Add 2 tbsp of water and blend in a mixer to a coarse mixture.
4. Transfer the mixture into a bowl, divide it into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a circle of 75 mm. (3”) diameter and 1 cm thickness.
5. Dip each cutlet in the maida mixture and roll in the bread crumbs till it is evenly coated from all the sides.
6. Heat the oil in a kadhai and deep-fry each cutlet till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides. Drain on absorbent paper and keep aside.
7. Combine the coriander, green chillies, onions and lemon juice and blend in a mixer to a coarse paste using ½ tbsp of water.
8. Transfer the paste into a deep bowl, add the mayonnaise and mixed herbs and mix well.
9. Keep refrigerated for at least an hour.
10. Cut each burger bun horizontally into two. Apply ½ tsp of butter on the insides of each half of the burger bun and toast them lightly on a tava (griddle). Keep aside.
11. Apply 1½ tbsp of the green mayonnaise spread on the buttered side of all the bun halves.
12. Place a lower half of the bun on a clean, dry surface with the buttered-spread side facing up.
13. Place a lettuce leaf, 2 onion slices, 2 tomato slices and 3 cucumber slices and sprinkle a little salt and pepper over it.
14. Place a cutlet and cover with an upper half of the bun with the buttered–spread side facing down and press it lightly.
15. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more burgers.
