Instructions

    Cup of Yum

  2. Meanwhile, in a blender, blend the ginger, garlic, chili, cilantro, mint, fennel, cashews, a tablespoon oil and everything else except onion, oats and chickpea flour. Use a few teaspoons of water if necessary to get a nice paste.
  3. Crumble the tempeh and mix with the paste. add in the golden onion.
  4. Add the chickpea flour and 2 Tablespoons oats flour and mash and knead. Add more oats to form a soft doughy mixture which can hold together. Taste and adjust salt and spice. you can use Bread crumbs instead of oats too.
  5. Form patties or pat the mixture on skewers.
  6. Grill on a heated grill pan with oil, on high heat 2-3 minutes each side till the outside is not moist anymore and there are crusty brown grill marks.
  7. Serve hot. topped with chaat masala or rock salt(kala namak) and lemon juice. And with sliced onions and tomatoes tossed in salt, pepper and lemon juice, green cilantro mint chutney, ketchup or sriracha!
  8. Or make larger burger patties and serve in between burger buns, topped with roasted veggies and cilantro chutney. Tempeh can be substituted with cooked cannelli, navy, garbanzo beans to make these soyfree.
