Today we're making curried lentil and rice burgers, a straightforward recipe that turns cooked lentils and rice into something genuinely delicious. We love the warm, spiced note from the curry and how quickly everything comes together in one bowl; all they need is a gentle touch when flipping them in the pan.

Prep: 10 minCook: 10 minServes: 1

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need

  • 100g cooked brown lentils
  • 1 egg
  • Pink Himalayan salt
  • Garlic powder
  • Curry powder
  • 80g cooked white rice

Step by step

Method

  1. 1Place the cooked lentils in a colander, rinse them under cold water, drain thoroughly, and transfer to a bowl.
  2. 2Crack the egg in with the lentils.
  3. 3Season to taste with salt, garlic powder, and curry powder.
  4. 4Use an immersion blender to pulse briefly while beating in the egg (do not blend smooth; you just want some lentils mashed to bind everything into a paste while leaving plenty whole).
  5. 5Fold in the cooked rice and mix well.
  6. 6Spoon dollops of the mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium heat (keep them fairly flat) and gently shape them into burger patties using the back of the spoon.
  7. 7Cook well on the first side, then flip very carefully (they are delicate and can break easily). Tidy up the edges with the spoon and cook on the other side (once both sides are golden, they become much easier to handle).
  8. 8All done! Your curried lentil and rice burgers are ready to enjoy.
