Adzuki Bean Burger
These are amazing, versatile and healthy and can be made in a jiffy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups adzuki bean (lal lobia) sprouts (ones sprouted over a day are best)
- 2 small unpeeled carrots, grated
- ½ a small unpeeled beetroot, grated
- 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
- ½ tsp unrefined salt
Method
Take all the ingredients in a food processor and grind to a coarse mixture without adding water. Shape into 2” x ½” round patties and place in a steamer to cook. You will know that they are done once they become firm and come off easily. Serve with a chutney of your choice, or as a burger inside a whole wheat or multi grain bun with veggies and condiments. Additionally, you may also bake the burgers in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 12-15 minutes, to brown them..
Variations
- You can replace the adzuki bean sprouts with moong sprouts, masoor sprouts or any other sprouts of your choice. The roots should be small.
- Replace the veggies with sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkin or any grated fibrous vegetable. Replace the ginger-green chilli paste with herbs of your choice. You can make burgers with different flavours to suit every palate and menu.
