Chickpea Burger

Chickpea Burger is a popular plant-based option that combines protein-rich chickpeas with herbs, spices, and breadcrumbs to form a patty. The patties are crisp on the outside, soft inside, and mildly spiced with garlic, onion, cumin, and coriander. They are pan-fried or baked, making them healthier than deep-fried cutlets.

The burger is assembled with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, onions, and cheese if desired, all layered with mayonnaise, hummus, or yogurt-based sauces. The chickpea patty makes the burger satisfying while also being rich in fibre, protein, and complex carbs.

This burger works as a healthy snack, a light dinner, or even a party favourite. It can be customised with toppings like avocado, pickles, or caramelised onions, and served with potato wedges or salad on the side. It’s also vegan-friendly if you skip cheese and use dairy-free sauces.

Step 1

Prepare patty mixture
Mash boiled chickpeas in a bowl (leave a few chunks for texture). Add onion, garlic, chilli, coriander leaves, spices, lemon juice, and breadcrumbs. Mix well to form a dough-like mixture.

Tips and Tricks

  1. If the mixture feels too soft, add more breadcrumbs or oats to bind.

  2. For extra flavour, add a spoon of tahini or peanut butter to the patty mix.

  3. Refrigerating the patties for 20 minutes before cooking helps them hold shape.

  4. You can meal-prep the patties and freeze them for up to a month.

  5. Serve with spicy peri-peri mayo or mint chutney for a desi twist.
