Veg/Vegan- Adzuki beans (Desi Chori -Indian) and Spinach burgers Patties

Veg/Vegan burgers - Adzuki beans (Desi Chori) and Spinach burgers.

9 Ingredients
  • 0.75 cup, Aldi's Chef Cupboard--bread Crumbs--plain
  • 42 g, Oil
  • 1 lemon yields, Lemon juice, raw
  • 1 tsp, Salt
  • 1 tsp (15g), Green Chilli Paste
  • 2 tbsp, Ginger Garlic Paste
  • 1.33 cup (85g), Frozen Chopped Spinach
  • 1 cup, Chickpea flour (besan)
  • 0.50 cup ( 44 g), Chori Beans












1. Soak Adzuki beans in warm water overnight. I kept it for 24 hour so it became like 3 cups. 

2. Drain most water and grind it in a blender. Do not grind fine but keep the texture coarse. 

3. Add garlic-ginger-green chilli paste, salt, lemon juice, thawed spinach (make sure all water is drained) and Chickpea flour as needed slowly so it forms like a dough to form into round patties that will hold well. 

4. Form into patties like burgers. In a separate plate, spread bread crumbs and roll each into bread crumbs and then pan fry using just a little bit of oil spray with each patty. Cook well on both sides on medium low flame. 

5. When done, remove from the pan, onto a paper towel and let it cool. Use as needed or refrigerate/freeze for use later. 

PS. 1. You can mix and match any vegetables you like with any beans in this manner and make either sausage shapes or round patties and enjoy as you like. 

2. You may deep fry which will add a rich taste but lots of calories.
