Hamburger

Ingredients 

• 4 burger buns
• 400 grams mutton mince
• ½ cup bread crumbs (optional)
• Salt to taste
• ½ teaspoon crushed black peppercorns
• 1 egg
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon mustard paste
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 bunch lettuce leaves, shredded
• 1 medium cucumber, sliced
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
• 2 medium onions, sliced
• French fries as required

Method

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mutton mince, breadcrumbs, salt, half of the crushed peppercorns and egg together. Mix mayonnaise with tomato sauce, mustard paste and season with salt and remaining crushed peppercorns.
2. Divide the mince mixture into four balls and flatten them to form a thick patty. Keep the mixture in the refrigerator for half an hour. The size of the patty should be larger than the size of the bun in diameter, as it will shrink on cooking.
3. Heat oil in a non-stick pan or tawa and shallow fry the mutton patties till they are golden brown on both sides. Slit the burger buns in half, apply butter on each half and toast on a tawa or grill.
4. Remove and place on a working surface. Apply the mayonnaise mix to the shredded lettuce. Place the lettuce leaves on the base half of the burger, and over it, place cucumber and tomato slices.
5. Now place the mutton patty and finally a slice of onion. Put the other half of the bun and close it. Repeat the process with the remaining buns.
6. Secure with wooden sticks across so the pattie is held within. Serve hot, accompanied by French fries.
