Cà Ri Burger

Cà Ri Burger is a delicious fusion dish that combines the flavors of Vietnamese curry with the classic burger experience. This Halal burger features a spiced chickpea patty, fresh herbs, and a creamy coconut sauce, all served on a soft bun.

Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 240 grams (1 can, drained and rinsed)
• Red curry paste - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 60 ml
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Bread crumbs - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce - 2 leaves
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Sriracha sauce - to taste

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
2. Add the red curry paste, coconut milk, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, chopped cilantro, green onions, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by lightly toasting them in a separate pan or toaster.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the chickpea patty, sliced cucumber, and tomato. Drizzle with Sriracha sauce if desired.
7. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
