Method
-
Heat 1 tbs of oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the diced onion, stirring now and then, and cook for 6-8 mins until very soft.
-
To this add the cumin, curry powder and chili powder and cook until fragrant, less than one minute.
-
Add in the grated carrot and cook for 2 minutes, or until carrot is just starting to lose its shape. Set aside in a bowl and allow to cool.
-
Once cooled, stir through the mashed beans, tahini, egg and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper and shape into four burgers. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
-
Heat the rest of the oil in the same pan on a medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until gold and crisp to preference.
-
Assemble into a burger with whatever you want!
