Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   First, prepare the patties. Transfer all ingredients into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and combine with your fingers. Shape three patties and chill them in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   For the raita, grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much juice as possible. Transfer to a bowl with yogurt, mint, and a little salt. Mix and chill.

3. 3

   For the bhaji, sift flour, spices and leavening into a bowl with a pinch of salt. Gradually add 200 ml cold water to form a thick batter (you may not need all the water), then add the onion.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the batter in portions to make three bhajis the size of a patty. Fry for 3 minutes until crisp on one side, then flip and cook the other side until done. Keep warm.

5. 5

   Grill, grill pan or skillet – cook the patties to your liking. On each bun place lettuce leaf and a patty, then a spoonful of raita, bhaji and red onion. Serve the mango chutney on the side.
