Recipe Notes

Health Quotient

These beans are high in fibre and protein, making it a healthy filling meal. You can omit the bread and eat the patties alone along with a salad for a low carb vegetarian meal. Since they are baked, you can prepare them using minimal oil.

Make-ahead tip

The burgers can be shaped and frozen on a baking tray. Once frozen, remove and store in ziploc bag in freezer, bake or shallow fry when required. Add 3-4 minutes to baking time, no need to thaw before baking or frying.
