The 5 layers of Noodle Tikki Burger
Noodle Tikki Burger is built from 5 parts. They are listed in the order you meet them, and the numbers match the diagram.
The bun
A soft burger bun, toasted with butter so it holds up to a heavy, saucy filling.
The sauces
A creamy mayonnaise spread and a hot chilli or Schezwan sauce, for richness and heat.
The tikki
A crisp, spiced vegetable and potato patty, fried until the outside is golden.
The noodles
A spoonful of stir-fried hakka-style noodles, tossed with sauce so they cling together in the burger.
The fresh veggies
Lettuce, onion and sometimes cabbage, for freshness and crunch against the hot, saucy filling.
01
What it is made of
This burger is two street foods in one bun. The tikki brings the Indian crisp-and-spice, and the noodles bring the Indo-Chinese stir-fry. It is a snack that is closer to a meal.
- Burger bun
- Vegetable and potato patty
- Hakka-style noodles
- Schezwan or chilli sauce
- Mayonnaise
- Lettuce and onion
02
How the layers work together
A lot happens at once: the crisp patty, soft noodles, a hit of chilli sauce, cool mayo and crunchy lettuce. The noodles add a savoury, garlicky note that you do not find in a plain veg burger.
03
Where it comes from
Fusion burgers are an invention of the Indian cafe, where Indo-Chinese noodles and Indian patties are combined with a Western bun. The noodle burger is a modern street-food creation, not a traditional dish, and it grew from the popularity of hakka noodles.
04
Variations and other names
Cafes offer different spins:
- Schezwan noodle burger: with a fiery red sauce.
- Cheese noodle burger: with melted cheese.
- Noodle roll: the same filling in a flatbread.
- Noodle sandwich: grilled between two slices of bread.
05
How to eat it
Hold it firmly with both hands, because the noodles slide. Eat it hot, and keep napkins close.
