Raw Banana Tikki
My family loves cutlets and tikkis. So, I keep experimenting with various ingredients. You can find a list of such recipes here. Raw plantain is a good source of vitamin B6, minerals and antioxidants. The soluble fibre content keeps intestinal ailments at bay. So raw plantain is always a staple vegetable at our place. I use it in curries, avial and many other dishes. I usually add it in kebabs or cutlets in place
of potatoes. Here is once such recipe which goes very well along with your burger buns. Please do try it and share your feedback.
You may add other vegetables like grated carrot, finely chopped beans, boiled green peas and so on. Try baking it in a preheated oven at 170-180 degree Celsius for around 30-35 minutes. It pairs perfectly with curd-mint dip.
