Ingredients

1 cup (250g / 8oz) red lentils

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 onions, sliced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon garam masala

425g (14oz) can chickpeas, drained

1 egg

1/4 cup (15g / 1/2 oz) chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons fresh coriander

2 1/4 cups stale breadcrumbs

plain flour, for dusting

Directions

Add lentils to a large pan of boiling water and simmer for 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.

Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 3 minutes or until soft. Add the ground spices and stir until fragrant. Cool the mixture slightly.

Place the chickpeas, egg, onion mixture and half the lentils in a food processor. Process for 20 seconds, or until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.

Stir in the remaining lentils, parsley, coriander and breadcrumbs. Mix well, and divide into 10 portions.

Shape the portions into round paties (if the mixture is too soft, chill for 15 minutes or until firm). Toss the patties in flour, shaking off the excess.

Place patties on a lightly greased hot BBQ, grill or hotplate. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side or until browned.

STORAGE: these patties can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored, covered in the fridge.

*You could also use green lentils for this recipe, but they will take approx 30 minutes to cook.
