CURRIED LENTIL, RICE AND CARROT BURGERS
I love the Indian spices in these burgers. The turmeric offers bonus antioxidant health benefits, but even without it, they're in abundance in this recipe, with all the carrots and ginger.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a heavy ovenproof skillet and add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring often, until just about tender, about 3 minutes, and add the mushrooms, ginger, turmeric, cumin, curry powder, mustard seeds and cayenne and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant and the spices aromatic. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the rice.
- Purée the lentils with the egg and add to the vegetable and rice mixture. Stir together, season with salt and pepper, and shape into 6 patties.
- Heat the ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and, working in batches if necessary, cook the patties for 2 minutes on one side, or until nicely browned. Carefully turn the patties over and place in the oven. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the patties are lightly browned and don't fall apart. Remove from the heat and serve, with or without buns, chutney or ketchup and the works.

Tips:
- Use a variety of lentils. Red lentils are a popular choice for burgers, but you can also use green lentils, brown lentils, or a combination of different types.
- Cook the lentils properly. Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will make your burgers mushy.
- Use a food processor to grind the lentils. This will help to create a smooth and even texture for your burgers.
- Add plenty of flavorings. Curry powder, cumin, and coriander are all classic Indian spices that work well in curried cashew red lentil burgers. You can also add other vegetables, such as onion, garlic, and ginger.
- Be careful not to overcook the burgers. Lentil burgers are delicate, so they only need to be cooked for a few minutes per side.
Conclusion:
Curried cashew red lentil burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein and fiber, and they are also low in fat and calories. These burgers are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, and they can also be served at parties or potlucks.
