Views: Mini Buger With Rawa Tikki | Easy Burger Recipe | Healthy Burger Recipe

I like fast foods very much but these are loaded with extra calories,so always trying to make them healthy.These tikkies made with upma (cooked sooji) I tried rawa rolls before it but
with mased potatoes but this is just like vegetable upma,actually I saw this recipe on Sanjeev Kapoor's Show @Sony TV and I did some changes and enjoyed Happy meal @ Home

Preparation Time : 10 min.     Cooking Time : 30 min.    Serving  : 4
Ingredients
8 Mini buns
1/2 cup butter
Oil to deep fry
Cheese Slices (optional)

For Flavored milk
3 cups milk 
2-2 cloves and pepper
4 garlic cloves
1 cinnamon stick 
2 whole green cardamoms
1 whole onion

For Tikki
1 cup semolina roasted(sooji/rawa) 
1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
2 tbsp oil

1  onions chopped
1 cup chopped mixed peppers (Red ,green,yellow capsicums) 
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste 
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
salt to taste


Dip/Chtuney
1 small bunch of coriander leaves
1/2 cup hung curd
1/2 onion
3 Green chill
1/2 inch ginger
3-4 garlic cloves
salt to taste

Salad
1 small cucumber sliced
1 tomato sliced
1 Onion sliced

METHOD
Heat the milk with all spices in a pan and cook on low heat for 6 minutes. 
Meanwhile Heat the oil in a pan add cumin seeds then add onion and sauté the onions till golden brown then add ginger garlic paste, peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Then add sooji and saute for min. 

Add salt and red chili now strain the milk and pour into sooji mixture and whisk until the mixture is thick.
Grease a plate with oil and pour the mixture into the tray and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the tray in a refrigerator for 10 minutes to chill and set.
Cut the set semolina mixture into round or square tikkies. 

Heat the oil in frying pan or kadai and shallow or deep-fry till crisp on the outside. Drain on absorbent paper.
For the dip, blend all the ingredients in a blender till smooth.
Cut the bun apply little butter,then dip,keep a slice of tomato then tiiki put onion and cucumber slice and cover with bun.

Serve hot with tomato ketchup or Green dip.

Note
I used salad in slice but can use shredded or grated also because I felt it's easy to assemble and serve.
For tikkies can use any vegetables like carrot,cabbage,beans,green veggies too and paneer also.
If your tikki is breaking in frying then add 2 mashed potatoes in sooji mixture. 

Another way also-
whisk 4 tbsp maida (all purpose flour) with little milk (1/4 cup) to make a light batter. Season to taste with salt, pepper, cumin powder and chili powder.
Dip the tikkies into the batter and roll them in the crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs or poha (pressed rice) and deep fry or shallow fry.

Mozzarella cheese To top
Pizza sauce 2 tblsp

Olive oil 2 tsp
Crushed red pepper To sprinkle on top

Method:

To make pizza cups, cut the bread slices with a lid to a circle. Brush a muffin cup (i used normal cups) with oil and place these bread circles in it so that to make a cup shape.Spread the Pizza sauce.

Sprinkle the chopped veggies and cheese on top of it. Do the same procedure for bread pizza, to the bread directly and bake them in gas Oven.

Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the bread turns golden in colour and crisp too.
Can Make Bread pizza(not cup pizza) on nonstick tawa also.
