Green jackfruit is an ingredient that can be used not only in curries or bharta but also, very well, in modern fusion cooking. For those who like vegetarian food or want to try something new, a green jackfruit burger patty can be a perfect option.

Crisp on the outside and soft and tasty inside, it works as an excellent plant-based patty for burgers. Here is a simple way to make green jackfruit burger patties at home.

First boil the green jackfruit well and, once it has cooled, mash it thoroughly by hand or with a fork so that no large lumps remain.

Then add boiled potato and mix it in; this will help bind the patty. Add chopped onion, garlic paste, ginger paste, green chillies, salt, ground black pepper and ground cumin and mix well. Add chopped coriander leaves for extra flavour.

When the mixture is well kneaded, take a little at a time in your hand and shape it into round or flat patties. You can coat the outside with breadcrumbs or cornflour for a nice crisp texture after frying. Heat oil in a pan on the stove, and when it is hot fry the patties on medium heat until golden on both sides.

Make burgers with the hot green jackfruit patties and serve. They taste great with buns, sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion, and can also be served with mayonnaise or chutney.
