Chickpea and Potato Samosa Burgers

Chickpea and Potato Samosa Burgers

Do you love Indian flavors as much as we do? This samosa-inspired burger tastes very similar to the fried appetizer you may know and love, however, it's much healthier! Chickpea and Potato Samosa Burgers are baked instead of fried and fiber-rich. Really, they’re one big delicious and crispy veggie and chickpea patty. Enjoy them as is or top them with your favorite chutney.

2 cups organic potatoes (red or golden, cubed)
1 cup chickpeas (homecooked or BPA-free canned and drained)
1 cup cauliflower (minced)
¾ cup cashews (raw, unsalted)
½ cup green onion (chopped)
½ cup cilantro (chopped)
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp onion powder
½ tsp salt (optional)
¼ tsp ground black pepper (optional)
tsp cayenne (optional)

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2

In a large saucepan, add the potatoes and enough water to cover them. Heat on high and boil for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

3

Meanwhile, in a grinder or food processor, grind the cashews into a fine meal consistency.

4

Once the potatoes are cooked, add them and the chickpeas to a large bowl. With a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes and chickpeas until about 3/4 of the chickpeas are mashed. It's okay to leave the rest whole. The potatoes should be fully mashed (helps the burger stay together).

5

Add the cashews, cauliflower, green onion, cilantro, curry powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, if using. Mix together all of the ingredients.

6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

7

With a spoon, scoop out enough of the mixture to fit into your palm and form into a burger patty then place each one on the baking sheet.

8

Bake for 15 minutes, flip the burgers and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
