Veggie Patties
"These bear no resemblance to hamburgers other than being delicious in a bun with the same sort of topping. The "batter" will keep, covered, in the fridge, for up to a week making this an extremely convenient and delicious lunch or quick supper dish, or you can make tiny ones and serve as an appetizer. NOTE: I continue to make these regularly, and not surprisingly, don't make them the same every time. I often omit the Jalapeno and ginger, and instead add an extra grated zucchini and a tablespoon of mild curry powder."

Very unusual, a spicy veggie burger. But I liked it. It's a nice break from the same old flavoured veggie burgers. -
This is flavorful, quick, and healthy! I love it. It reminds me of some Indian flavored veggie patties that I buy from Trader Joes. Those are potato based though. At my local indian grocer the gram (chickpea) flour is also called Brar Chana flour or Besan. I hope that helps someone who may be looking for it. -
I liked these, they were tasty with the spices, and wonderful with chilli sauce. I froze a batch to reheat for lunches - made them a little dryer but not inedible.

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
