Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked sushi rice (or short-grain rice), cooled

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

• Salt, to taste

• ½ tablespoon oil (for shaping)

• Oil for frying

• ½ lb ground beef

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Sliced American cheese or cheddar

• Dill pickles, finely chopped

• Shredded lettuce (optional)

• Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

• ¼ cup mayo

• 1 tablespoon ketchup

• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped pickles or relish

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• Dash of paprika

Directions

• Mix rice with rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Lightly oil your hands and press the rice into a flat, even rectangle (about ½-inch thick) on a parchment-lined tray. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Once firm, cut into small rectangles or squares.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry rice pieces until golden and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
• In a skillet, season and cook the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles.

• Assemble: Place a spoonful of beef on each crispy rice square. Add a small piece of cheese (let it melt slightly), drizzle with Big Mac sauce, and top with pickles. Optionally garnish with sesame seeds and shredded lettuce.

Notes

• Use a non-stick skillet for frying the rice if not deep frying.
• The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
• Try with plant-based meat for a vegetarian twist.

Origin Indian-Style Pumpkin and Corn Burger

Inspired by traditional Indian street food and homemade veggie cutlets, this burger brings the essence of Indian flavors into a modern dish. The use of mashed pumpkin and sweet corn adds a unique texture, while spices like garam masala and cumin provide warmth and depth. Variations of similar spiced patties can be found in Indian households, often served as snacks or in chaats.

What I Love About This Recipe

I love how this burger is a perfect blend of health and taste. The pumpkin and corn make the patty naturally sweet and moist, while the spices elevate the flavors. It’s also incredibly versatile—you can serve it in a bun, wrap it in a roti, or enjoy it as a standalone cutlet. The crispy texture and the kick from green chilies make it a favorite at home, and it’s a great way to sneak in veggies!
