Burgers are favourite to many and I like to try different variations whether vegetarian or non vegetarian. Today I made the patty with soya chunks and the taste was yumm! Soya chunks of course needs to be softened and I soaked in milk to soften and then mashed and made the patty.

But what’s so special about this recipe is it’s no oil patty of soya and the burger was my favourite Moong Dal. I didn’t want to bake a whole wheat one though that would have been ideal. Nevertheless I made a no oil roasted soya patty and added with onion rings and sliced tomatoes to the burger the patty and was thrilled beyond words

I’ll provide the recipe to the soya patty for the Burger and not the Burger as Friends can check that recipe in my earlier blog
