Ingredients
- 400 g tin of chickpeas rinsed and well drained
- 75 g quinoa
- 1 tbsp tandoori spice mix
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 400 ml cold water
- 1 vegetable stock cubes
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the onion chutney
- ½ onion peeled and finely diced
- 1 large tomato seeds removed and finely diced
- handful of fresh coriander chopped
- 2 tsp mint sauce
To serve
- 4 60g wholemeal burger buns
- 4 tsp mango chutney
- small bag of mixed salad leaves
- low-calorie cooking spray
Instructions
-
Place the quinoa in a saucepan and cover with 400ml of cold water. Crumble in the stock cube. Place on the stove and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
-
When cooked, drain well using a sieve, return to the pan and cover. Leave to cool.
-
While the quinoa cools, mix all the onion chutney ingredients together, cover and keep in the fridge until required.
-
When the quinoa is cool, place in a food processor, along with the chickpeas, tomato puree, tandoori spice and garlic granules. Blitz in short blasts using the pulse function, until it comes together. Don't over-process – you want to retain the texture of the chickpeas.
-
Scrape into a mixing bowl and ensure everything is well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if required. You can add more spice at this point to suit your taste. You can even add some chilli powder, if you would like more heat.
-
Roll into 4 equal-sized balls and flatten into burger shapes. Cover and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
-
Spray a good non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray, and place over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the burgers and cook for 5-6 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the patties are golden and crisp on both sides.
-
To serve, split the rolls and fill with mixed leaves. Place the burgers on top of the leaves. Top with the onion chutney and a teaspoon of mango chutney for each burger. Enjoy!
