You'll Need

• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 2 tsp curry powder
• 400g tin of chickpeas or butterbeans, drained
• 1 handful of toasted walnuts or seeds
• 1 carrot, grated
• A large handful of fresh coriander, chopped
• 1 lime
• 1 egg or 3-4 tbsp coconut milk
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• Plain flour
• A few splashes of olive oil

1. Sizzle onion in the olive oil till soft. Add the garlic, ground coriander and the curry powder. Mix. Cook for a mo.
   
   
2. In a food processor, pulse the spiced onions, chickpeas/beans and nuts/seeds till well mixed (not puréed).
   
   
3. Tip into a bowl. Mix in the carrots, fresh coriander, lime juice, grated zest and whisked egg or coconut milk to bind. Taste. Add more salt, pepper and curry powder as needed. If the burgers are looking too wet, add more chickpeas/beans and a handful of breadcrumbs.
   
   
4. Shape into patties - squeeze them firmly together. Dust your hands and burgers with flour so the patties aren't too sticky. Dredge each patty in flour and chill for at 30mins-2hrs before cooking.
   
   
5. Sizzle burgers in a frying pan in a little oil (they're softer than meat burgers so careful if grilling). Cook till gold on both sides.
   
   
6. Delicious in a toasted bap with a dollop of yogurt or chutney, leaves and fresh tomato slices.
