Servings: persons

2 cups (328 g) cooked white chickpeas
2 cups (380 g) cooked brown rice (any kind)
1 cup (150 g) uncooked yam or sweet potato, peeled and grated
1 carrot, grated (you can also use zucchini)
1/2 cup (35 g) white cabbage, grated
1/2 small white onion, peeled and minced
1 (1 inch [2.5-cm)) piece ginger root, peeled and grated or minced
3/4 cup (69 g) gram (chickpea) flour (besan)
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chile powder or cayenne
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1/4 cup (4 g) minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons oil, plus more for pan frying

1
In a food processor, blend the chickpeas and rice until well combined.
2
Add the remaining ingredients and process again until smooth.
3
With your hands, form the mixture into small balls and flatten them into patties.
4
If the dough is too sticky and soft, just add a little more gram flour.
5
Set aside on a tray.
6
In a shallow frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
7
Add the patties and heat until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
8
I like to put a lid on the pan and cook for an additional minute on each side to make sure the patties and the gram flour are cooked through.
9
Serve on a hamburger bun with all the fixings, or on a large lettuce leaf for a lighter meal.
