Cook with Priyanka: Avocado Patty Burgers (Eggless/with egg

These days most of us wants to live their lives on a healthy platform. Everyone wants to be fit and honestly speaking one has to. I am on the same track even :))). I always avoid eating burgers, though I just love them. Sacrificing them is a big task :((( What if you find Health and taste together ???

One morning I had wheat buns with me. Some avocados, eggs, about to make salad. But suddenly I thought to make avocados and egg Patty burger. Sounds a bit different and unusual but trust me guys its full of taste. Once you start preparing them you will forget those fried aloo/chicken pattice. They are very easy to make with very little ingredients. As avocado have a very bland taste hence they can be mixed very well with others for a nicer taste.

I usually purchase avocados and keep them for 2-3 days. Once they are perfectly ripped I use them for making salads or Mexican Guacamole. But this time I incorporated it with some eggs and made burger Patty for it. And guess what it was a super duper hit in my house. Avocados have many health benefits, few of them are -

Lowers cholesterol levels and maintaining a healthy heart.
Controls blood pressure
Regulates the blood sugar levels
My fav-Anti-aging properties
It protect against cancer
Has lots of goodness for Skin
Gives lot of energy

I prepared it with eggs but it can also be very well prepared without them. So here I am posting both the versions :)))))

Method :

Making Patty

Slit the avocado in between and take out the seed. Now with the help of a spoon scrape out its pulp leaving the skin.
In a bowl mash it and add finely chopped egg
Add rest of the ingredients - salt, garlic powder, chili powder, semolina and cornflour and mix well. Give it a minute, let semolina absorb some moisture.
Apply some water on the palms and try to make out a Patty (size depends as per your choice). It will be a bit sticky but no worries.
Immediately put it on a hot pan and drizzle some oil. Cook for a couple of minutes on medium flame and then turn lightly and then again cook.
