1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan and add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, letting them crackle.

Turn off the heat and add 2 cups water, then turn the heat back on and bring to a boil.

3

Once boiling, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and turn off the heat again.

4

Stir in 1 cup semolina while continuously mixing to avoid lumps.

5

Turn the heat back on and cook on high until the semolina thickens like dough, about 2 minutes.

6

Transfer to a bowl, apply a little oil on top, and cover with a damp cloth to set.

7

Prepare the stuffing by washing 1/2 cup poha and setting aside.

8

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil, add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, and let them crackle.

9

Add 1 green chili, 1/2 inch ginger, and 2 garlic cloves, all grated, and sauté briefly.

10

Add 1 medium chopped onion, 2 tablespoons bell pepper, and 1 medium chopped tomato, sautéing lightly.

11

Mix in 3 boiled and mashed potatoes, 1 tablespoon roasted cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala, mixing well.

12

Add coriander leaves and the washed poha to the mixture, ensuring it remains slightly moist for binding.

13

Let the mixture cool slightly before shaping.

14

Knead the semolina dough until smooth, then divide into two parts.

15

Roll out one part and cut into small round shapes using a glass.

16

Repeat the process with the second part of the dough.

17

Design the tops by pressing lightly with the back of a knife to create grill marks.

18

Shape the stuffing into patties that fit well in the burger.

19

Add oil to a pan and cook the buns on medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides.
