Veggie Burger (kala Chana Burger)

This is a healthy, delicious and nutritious veggie burger. The main ingredient for the patty is kala chana also known as Bengal gram. Kala chana is protein-rich and healthy. I used kala chana and potatoes with spices to make patties. Then, I garnished them with vegetables and chutney. This is my friend Sarita’s recipe. I have tried many veggie burgers and this is by far the best one! You will love this veggie burger.
