Curried Carrot and Tofu Veggie Burger

2 tbsp of Olive/coconut oil1 Onion, finely chopped1 tsp ground Coriander1-2 tsp Curry powder or paste200g pack of cubed Tofu seasoned to taste400g tin of Chickpeas or butter beans, drained1 handful of toasted Nuts or seeds2 large Carrots, grated1 lime, zest and juice1 egg or 4 tbsp Coconut milkSea salt and ground pepperOther spices to taste (see below)Spelt flourAdd the onion to a pan and cook gently in olive oil till soft. Add the coriander and 1 tsp of curry powder.Mix well and allow to cook for a few minutes.Then lightly blitz the onions, chickpeas or beans, tofu, nuts and seeds in a food processor just to combine the ingredients.Add the carrots, lime zest and juice, the egg/coconut milk and mix well, add salt, pepper and the rest of the curry powder. I like to add fennel seeds, cinnamon, chilli and any other herb & spice I fancy on the day too. Be creative :)Take the mixture and shape it into four burger patties, firmly press together and lightly dust with flour so they don’t stick to your hands or the surface. Cook them in a heated pan in a little oil. Handle them very gently as they are not as compact as meat burgers, so take your time. Cook till golden on both sides and serve with salad, chutney, sliced tomato, gherkins, natural yoghurt etc.
