How to Make Restaurant Style Burgers at Home with Veg Mayo and Tandoori Mayo

There’s nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a juicy, flavour-packed burger that tastes straight from your favourite diner. But queuing up or ordering in every time can get old—and expensive! With a couple of simple hacks and the right condiments, you can recreate that restaurant magic in your own kitchen. In this guide, we’ll show you how to craft mouthwatering homemade burgers using two superstar spreads—Nutralite veg mayonnaise and Nutralite tandoori mayo—so every bite is pure bliss.

Why Choose Veg Mayo and Tandoori Mayo?

A great burger isn’t just about the patty—it’s the balance of textures and flavours that turns a good sandwich into an unforgettable feast. Nutralite veg mayonnaise brings a creamy, velvety layer enriched with vitamins, making it the perfect base for any mayo burger. On the other hand, Nutralite tandoori mayonnaise (also known as tandoori mayo) adds a smoky, spicy twist that transports your taste buds straight to a roadside kebab stall. Combined, these two condiments lets you toggle between classic creaminess and Indian-inspired zest.

Ingredients To Make Burgers at Home

Before you start, gather these key components:

• For the Patty
  • 250 g minced chicken or a plant-based alternative
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • ½ tsp chaat masala
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For the Burger
  • 2 burger buns, lightly toasted
  • Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and thinly sliced onions
  • Nutralite veg mayo
  • Nutralite tandoori mayo
• Optional Toppings
  • Sautéed mushrooms or grilled bell peppers
  • Pickled jalapeños
  • Caramalized Onions

Step-by-Step Burger Assembly

1. Prepare the Patties
   In a mixing bowl, combine minced meat or substitute with chopped mushrooms and beans for a vegetarian twist. Add chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, chaat masala, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined—overworking will make the patty dense. Divide into two equal portions and shape into discs slightly larger than your buns (they’ll shrink while cooking).
2. Cook to Perfection
   Heat a non-stick pan or grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle a little oil, then place the patties. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even contact. If you like cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute and cover the pan to melt.
3. Build Your Burger
   • Spread a generous layer of Nutralite veg mayonnaise on the bottom bun—this is your creamy foundation.
   • Add lettuce, tomato, and onion slices.
   • Place the hot patty (cheese side up) on the veggies.
   • For a flavour punch, spoon a dollop of Nutralite tandoori mayonnaise over the patty. This smoky-spicy spread makes a fantastic tandoori mayonnaise burger twist.
   • Top with any optional toppings you like—pickled jalapeños or caramelized onions both work wonders.
   • Crown with the top bun, pressing down lightly so everything holds together.

Pro Tips & Variations

• Burger Mayo Recipe Hacks: For a quick garlic mayo, stir minced garlic into your veg mayonnaise burger recipe. Drizzle extra lime juice for tanginess.
• Double Sauce Layer: Create a swirl by piping alternating stripes of veg mayo and tandoori mayo on the bun. It looks salon-worthy and tastes even better.
• Homemade Burgers for Kids: Swap the tandoori mayo for veg mayo only, and add a touch of honey for a kid-friendly veg mayonnaise for burger variation.
• Meal Prep: You can shape and season patties ahead of time—just cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cook straight from the fridge for fresher bites.
