Ingredients

• 250g potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 100g green peas, boiled and mashed
• 1 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tsp green chili paste
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 4 small whole wheat buns
• Cooking spray

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, mashed green peas, ginger paste, green chili paste, turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, black pepper, and lemon juice. Make sure to mix everything well.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into small patties. Roll the patties in breadcrumbs to coat them evenly.
3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and spray it with cooking spray. Place the patties on the pan and cook until they are golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. While the patties are cooking, slice the whole wheat buns in half and lightly toast them in the pan.
5. Place a cooked patty inside each toasted bun, and serve hot.
