mash it immediately so that it doesn't become hard. And take this mashed banana in a plate

In a mixture jar take boiled corn and boiled peas. Add some green chillies  and grind it.
See to it that u don't make a fine paste of it . Grind it just twice or thrice so that corn and peas are half crushed. It will give a desired texture to our patties

Now add it with mashed banana 
Take a cabbage and grade it finely 

So now you have mashed raw banana, peas-corn mixture and graded cabbage 
Now add garam masala, chaat masala and salt to it and mix it well.

Raw banana does a great binding job so you might require bread crumbs in mixture.

Neither should it b too small nor too big.

Make maida cornflour slurry( paste) 
( 1 spoon maida+1 spoon cornflour + salt + white pepper powder + water)

Dip the patty in the slurry and then cover it with breadcrumbs.
Deep fry it in oil at medium flame till its crisp and golden.

Take mayonnaise in a bowl 
Add tomato ketchup and red chilly sauce 
Then add salt, white pepper powder , oregano and chilly flakes 
And ur mayo dip is ready 


To assemble the burger
Cut the bun in an equal half 
And roast only the inner side of bun with butter on a plan 
Now take the lower half of the bun and spread the mayo dip on it 
Now add sliced tomatoes and cucumber
Take some leaves of iceberg lettuce and put on your burger
Now keep the ready Pattice on it
And cover it with cheese slice.
 Microwave it just for 10 seconds so that the cheese sticks to the patties 
Take care that the patty doesn't loose its crisp 
You can even avoid the microwave process
