Shami Cheese Burger | One Dish One Tip

cheese slices

🥗Healthier: avocado slices

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain is more nutritious.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: store-brand mayonnaise

Greek yogurt reduces calories and adds protein.

pickles

🥗Healthier: cucumber slices

💰Cheaper: no pickles

Cucumber adds crunch without additional cost.

Prepare large-sized shami kebabs and freeze them for later use.

Take the frozen kebabs out and dip them in breadcrumbs.

Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Fry the kebabs until they are soft, about 3-4 minutes, being careful not to overcook since they are already cooked.

For the burger assembly, take 2 tablespoons of yogurt and mix it with half a teaspoon of black pepper, half a teaspoon of garlic paste, and two pinches of salt.

Spread the yogurt mixture on the burger bun.

Add iceberg lettuce on top of the yogurt spread.

Place slices of tomato on the lettuce.

Add the fried shami kebab on top of the tomato.

Optionally, add a fried egg on top of the kebab.

Add cucumber slices and a bit of cabbage on top of the kebab.

Top with a slice of cheese.

Prepare a second burger similarly, but skip the cabbage and add onion instead, based on personal preference.

To melt the cheese, heat the burger and place the cheese slice on top until melted.
