Vegan Madras Fusion Burger with Kumara Fries

Kavita's Kitchen NZ

Ingredients

Burger Patties

300g cooked quinoa
1 can chickpeas
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Kavita's Kitchen curry paste (any flavour)
1 onion diced
2 cloves garlic
200g kumara, cubed and cooked
3 tbsp tamari
3/4 cup chickpea flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cracked pepper
2 tbsp nutritional yeast

Extra Ingredients

Burger buns
Vegan mayonnaise
Lettuce
Tomato
Red onion
Mango chutney

Kumara Fries

2 large kumara, chopped into fries. Drizzle olive oil
1 tbsp Kavita's Kitchen curry paste
Salt & pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celscius.

Drizzle your kumara fries with oil and place evenly on a lined baking tray. Brush each fry with some of Kavita's Kitchen curry paste then season with salt & pepper. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until crispy. Take out halfway and turn each fry over then place back in the oven for the other half.

Meanwhile, add all burger patty ingredients to a food processor except the flour and pulse a few times. You don't want to make a puree, you just want everything to break down slightly so it's easier to mix. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the chickpea flour.

Heat a large pan with oil. Shape your patties to your preferred size then fry in the pan on a medium heat until golden brown on each side.

Assemble your burger. Spread the bottom burger bun with mayonnaise. Add lettuce, then your homemade burger patty, mango chutney, tomato and onion.
