Vegetable Burger

An all time favourite snack, adored by kids and elders which is always looked at suspiciously due to the abundance of calorie (433 per burgur). But now you need not give up your favourite snack. Instead make it suit your purpose by minimizing the fat and calories coming from fatty ingredients like cream, mayonnaise and cheese as I've done in the recipe of Whole Wheat Vegetable Burger
