Ingredients:
Serves 4
For the burgers:
1 can chickpeas (around 1 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup yellow split peas, soaked in warm water for 20 minutes
1 tsp of vegan margarine
1 red onion, diced
1 large potato, diced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp curry powder
2 tbsp masala barbecue powder
1/2 tsp crushed dried chillies
1 tsp dried coriander leaf
1 kaffir lime leaf
2 tbsp cornflour mixed with 1/4 cup of water
a pinch of salt and pepper
1/4 cup frozen garden peas
For the onion fritters:
1 large onion cut into half moon slices
1 tsp dried coriander leaf
3 tbsp cornflour mixed with 1/4 cup of water
1/3 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
Extra:
Mango chutney, wholemeal buns, and spinach to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 374°F.
In a saucepan, cook the onions and vegan margarine with the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and garlic for 2 minutes.
Add the potato to the saucepan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add the chickpeas, yellow split peas, and 2 cups of water to the saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally.
Drain the water, then add 1/2 cup of fresh water to the saucepan.
Add the kaffir leaf, salt, pepper, curry powder, masala barbecue powder, turmeric, crushed dried chillies, and dried coriander leaf to the mixture and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove lid, add the cornflour mixture and stir. Add the garden peas and simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring when needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Take the mixture off the heat. When cooled, shape into 4 even-sized burgers.
Lightly grease a baking tray with oil and place the burgers on the tray. Cook in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until browned and slightly firm.
Meanwhile, make the onion fritters. In a large bowl, combine the onion with the seasonings until well coated.
Add the cornflour mixture and stir until coated.
Heat 1 tbsp of rapeseed oil in a pan, then add 1 tbsp of the mixture to the pan and cook each bit until golden. Repeat until you’ve used all of the mixture.
Serve the burgers on a wholemeal bun with spinach, mango chutney, and the onion fritters.
