Instructions for Vegetarian Chickpea Burger Recipe

To begin making the Vegetarian Chickpea Burger Recipe, we will first make the chickpea patties for the burger.

Make sure you have the potatoes boiled. Peel and cube the potatoes.

In a pressure cooker, combine the chickpeas along with some water and pressure cook for 6-8 whistles.

Turn off the flame and allow the pressure to release naturally.

Once the pressure has released, open the cooker, drain the excess water and set the chickpeas aside.

Add chickpeas and potatoes into the food processor along with ginger, onion, green chillies, mint leaves, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala powder, gram flour, lemon juice and salt to taste.

Blend this mixture until it forms a coarse mix. You don't have to grind to make a smooth mixture, but just blend so all the ingredients come together.

Transfer the blended chickpea patty ingredients into a large bowl. Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste.

The next step is to cook the patties. Divide the patty mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into rounds. Lightly flatten them with your fingers and keep them aside.

Preheat a skillet on medium heat. If you are using a cast iron skillet, make sure to grease the skillet with oil.

Place the chickpea patties on the greased skillet, drizzle some oil and cook them until well browned and crisp on both sides. Make sure you cook on medium heat so it gets browned well, and cooks through from within.

The final step is the assemble the Vegetarian Chickpea Burger.

Cut the burger buns into half horizontally. You can optionally toast the buns on the skillet with a little butter or serve them as it is.

Place the cut buns on a flat surface. Place the lettuce leaves on the bottom half of the bun, then top it with tomatoes, cucumber, onions, the cooked chickpea patties and a drizzle of honey mustard sauce. Place the other half the bun over and serve.

Serve the Vegetarian Chickpea Burger as a wholesome snack for the kids birthday parties, along with Sweet Potato & Rosemary Crisps/ Chips and Mango Flavored Mixed Fruit Popsicles Recipe.
