Aloo Chickpea Burger

Friday, we had an aloo chickpea burger sandwich. "Aloo" means potato. I had some leftover boiled potatoes so making this burger did not take long at all. Here is how to make the burger part:

1 potato, boiled, peeled and cubed
1/4 cup chickpeas, soaked overnight (you can also use canned)
3 bread slices (toasted and then processed to make breadcrumbs)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tsp green chili paste OR
1 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp oregano
Chopped cilantro
Salt to taste

1. Soak the chickpeas overnight. Next day, drain and wash the chickpeas. Pressure cook until soft and tender.
2. Boil the potato. Then peel and cube. Mash the potatoes and chickpeas.
3. In same bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate burger mixture for atleast 30 minutes.
4. Divide the mixture into equal parts. Pat them down into burger shape.
5. Heat oil in griddle. Place the burgers on the griddle and cook both sides on low heat until cooked.

Enjoy the burger on any sandwich along with sliced onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, ketchup and hot sauce.
