Healthy, protein-rich vegetarian burgers made with black chickpeas, boiled potatoes for binding, and aromatic spices. Black chickpeas hold their texture better than regular chickpeas, creating a satisfying bite. Pan-fried until golden and crispy outside while remaining soft within, served on toasted buns with fresh cucumber, lettuce, and chilli oil mayo.

1
Peel the potatoes and chop into small pieces. Boil in cold water for 5 to 8 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
2
Finely chop the red onions, garlic cloves, and ginger.
3
Drain the black chickpeas and place in a bowl. Using a fork, partially mash them, leaving some whole for texture.
4
Combine the cooled potatoes, chopped onions, garlic, ginger, and coriander with the chickpeas. Add salt, chilli powder, cumin, and chaat masala. Mix well.
5
Wet your hands lightly and shape the mixture into 10 burger patties large enough to cover a bun. Can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to 3 to 4 days.
6
Heat a small amount of oil in a pan. Fry the patties for about 2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy on the outside.
7
Using a microplane, shave the cucumber into very thin slices. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
8
Spread mayo on the bun and drizzle with chilli oil.
9
Lightly butter the burger buns and toast in a pan until lightly browned.
10
Assemble the burger: place the toasted bottom bun, add mayo and chilli oil layer, place the patty, top with shaved cucumber and lettuce leaves, and cover with the top bun.
