I love burgers and am always up for trying out new recipes. This weekend, I finally got down to making one I had been thinking of for a while. It is very meaty since mushrooms and tofu are the main ingredient. I used traditional seasonings, and some oats to add body and as a binder. I used TVP granules before for my soya vegetable burger, but this one is more fresh tasting due to the veggies I used.

It is not easy to get access to a lot of condiments, so fixing burgers is a bit time consuming. I miss the days when I could just breeze through Walmart or Ukrop’s and pick up pickles, mustard, sour cream etc. or a french onion dip. I made almost all the condiments here from scratch – instant pickled cucumbers, a greek yogurt garlic spread, prepared mustard – whew. But the end result was delish, and also quite heady.

Fresh made mustard is very bold, especially when you use the yellow mustard seeds or ‘Raai Daal’ you get in India. I dressed the burger with the creamy dip on one bun, ketchup and mustard on the other, cheddar and tomatoes, onion, lettuce and pickle. As I said, quite traditional.

The recipe for tofu mushroom burger is as follows –

These burgers were tasty beyond my imagination, and well worth the effort.
