A delightful twist on the classic chickpea burger, these spiced patties are paired with fresh toppings for a satisfying meal.
Peel and grate the carrot into a bowl.
Grating the carrot finely helps it blend well into the mixture.
Peel and chop the garlic cloves.
Chopping the garlic releases its flavor more effectively.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add them to a food processor along with the garlic, spices, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Ensure the chickpeas are well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a rough paste, then add the grated carrot, egg, and flour. Pulse again until combined.
Avoid over-processing to maintain a slightly chunky texture.
Heat a frying pan with a drizzle of oil. Form the mixture into small patties and fry them in batches for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Use a spatula to gently flip the patties to prevent breaking.
Slice the red onion and tomato thinly.
Thin slices make the toppings easier to layer.
Serve the patties with the sliced vegetables and a dollop of mayonnaise.
Arrange the toppings neatly for an appealing presentation.
