Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
Salt to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 burger buns
4 slices of cheese (optional)
Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and onion rings for serving

Instructions

Boil the potatoes and cauliflower in a pot of salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the boiled potatoes and cauliflower to the pan. Use a fork or potato masher to mash them together.
Stir in ground coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Fold in the chopped cilantro and remove the mixture from heat. Let it cool slightly.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Cook the patties on a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy potato and cauliflower burger!

Additional Notes

For a vegan option, skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative. You can also add a tablespoon of chickpea flour to the mixture if it feels too wet to help bind the patties.
