Instructions
 

SOAKING OF DAALS/LENTILS

  • Wash and soak lentils overnight.
  • Next morning the dals will be puffed up.
  • Now let's start making buns.

MAKING OF RED LENTILS BUNS

  • Drain the water completely from the dal.
  • Add dal to the grinder jar.
  • Add water.
  • Grind dal to a fine paste.
  • Take the dal out in a bowl.
  • Add psyllium husk, salt and oil.
  • Mix well and rest for 5 -7 minutes.
  • Then add baking soda and vinegar.
  • Mix well.
  • Grease hands with oil and make 3 equal sized balls out of it.
  • This one we are baking in Air Fryer so put the balls in greased Air Fryer basket.
  • Sprinkle white sesame seeds on the balls.
  • Air fry @180°C for 10 minutes.
  • Open the Air Fryer and turn the sides of the balls.
  • Again Air Fry for 5 minutes at the same temperature.
  • White the buns are hot, brush butter (vegan) on them.
  • Red lentils/masoor dal burger buns are ready.

MAKING OF GREEN LENTILS/GREEN MOONG DAL BUNS

  • The process, ingredients and quantity of ingredients are exactly similar the way red lentils buns are made. The only difference is add spinach (optional) for the colour.

MAKING OF YELLOW LENTILS/YELLOW MOONG DAL BUNS

  • Again, the process, ingredients and quantity of ingredients are exactly similar. The only difference is add turmeric (optional) for the colour.

BAKING OF BUNS

  • Green and Yellow lentil Buns are baked in oven and for that arrange the balls on baking tray lined with greased butter paper or silicon mat.
  • Sprinkle white sesame seeds on them.
  • Bake in preheated oven @180°C  for 30 to 35 minutes in the middle rack with both the rods on. In case you feel they are not properly baked from the base, then shift the setting of oven to "lower rod only" and bake for 5-7 minutes.
  • Take them out and brush with butter.
  • Let them cool completely.

MAKING OF BURGERS

Notes

  1. You can soak yellow and red lentils just 4 hours before making them but green lentils need to soaked overnight.
  2. If not vegan, then you can add yogurt in place of water while grinding dals.
  3. Be very cautious about the measurement of ingredients because small mismanagement may lead to unhappy results.
