I was very inclined to
prepare the burger at home but didnt want to try any meat burger. So thought of
preparing paneer one. But then the indian grocerry store was little far from my
place so thought to try it on tofu. The burger turned out quite well and the
mildness of tofu vanished in the spcies and other things that I added.
Ingredients
4 Burger Buns
100g Tofu
2 Onions
1 Tomato
1 Fresh Red Chilli
4 Cheese Slices
1/2 Cup Lettuce
Ranch Dressing
Salt and Pepper
Oil
Method
- Cut the Tofu into cubes
- Heat oil and keep the flame on low.
- Add tofu pieces and cook till light brown in colour.
- Add onion slices, red chilli into it and cook till
onions are slight brown in colour
- Add salt and pepper and stir well. Divide the mixture
into 4 portions
- On each bun keep the cheese slice and add the portion
of the cooked tofu mixture.
- Spread the lettuce, tomato Slice, couple of drops of
tomato ketchup and one circle of the ranch dressing.
- Close with the upper portion of the bun and serve.
Notes
I cooked tofu on very light heat which helped me keep it soft. The Spicy Chilli, ranch dressing helped in supressing the mildness of Tofu.

Masala Daal
This Spicy daal was something I just experimented out when I was in pune. It turned out great. Actually mom dad loved it and then when I came here even ajoy liked it :) So thought of posting the recipe
Ingredients
3 Cup Tur Daal
1 Onion
1 Tomato
6-7 Garlic cloves
1/4 Spoon Mustard
1/4 Spoon Jeera
1 Spoon Red Chilli Powder
1/4 Spoon Turmeric Powder
1/2 Spoon Jeera Powder
1/2 Spoon Corriander Powder
1/4 Spoon Garam Masala
Corriander Leaves for Garnishing
Butter cubes
Salt to taste
Ghee
Method
- Cook tur daal with 1 cup water in the cooker.
- Heat the oil and let the mustard and jeera splutter in it
- Add finely chopped onions, garlic pieces and fry till onions turn translucent.
- Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, jeera powder, corriander powder and garam masala and mix well.
- Add tomato and cook till tomato is completely done.
- Add in cooked tur daal, salt and mix well. Cook for couple of minutes with constant stirring
- Add enough water for getting desired consistency to the daal and bring it to the boil.
- Garnish with corriander leaves.
- While serving serve with little butter cubes on top.
While cooking daal I dont mix too much of water, that way the cooked daal when added to masala completely soaks the taste and aroma.
