Instructions
For the burger buns
First of all cut the burger buns into two equal parts to make a double decker.
Apply mayonnaise on top of each cut section of the burgers. (First apply mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then the cut up middle on and lastly inside part of the top bun, get it?)
Now lightly toast the parts on which mayonnaise has been applied, all three of them. Don't press too hard, just handle them with a light hand. You can lightly toast them on a grilling pan also but I used a regular "Tawa".
Lightly toast and set aside.
For the chicken patties
Take the boneless chicken pieces into a clean and dry bowl and add all the sauces and the seasonings. Marinate for 20 minutes and then grind the boneless chicken to a paste.
Now make 10 balls out of it and with the help of a fork, coat each ball into the flour and corn flour paste ( instructions for the paste are given below).
Take it out the paste and then coat it into breadcrumbs, gently pressing with your fingers to make a round, flat patty. Make it thin, but not too thin to carry.
Now deep fry till golden brown and set aside.
For the Paste
Take flour (maida) in a bowl, add corn flour and mix with a wire whisk or fork.
Now incorporate as much water to make a medium consistency paste. It shouldn't be too thick or too watery.
So, add water only 2 tablespoons at a time, don't rush, please.
For the burger Sauce
Take mayonnaise in a bowl and add ketchup and mustard paste to it. Add salt if you like.
For Final Assembly
Place the bottom burger bun on the plate first (lightly toasted earlier, remember?)
Then apply the sauce over it (approx. one tsp).
Now place shredded iceberg lettuce over it.
Now the cheese slice.
Followed by the chicken burger patty (you just made :P)
Then the second layer of burger bun.
Apply sauce over it.
Now the chicken patty.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapeno, gherkins, anything you like.
Apply sauce inside the top bun as well, and place it over the rest of the assembled burger. Press gently! I said, gently!
Now wrap it in a wax or butter paper and microwave 30 seconds before serving.
