1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Coarse salt
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 scallions, finely chopped
3/4 cup cooked basmati rice
3 tablespoons shredded carrot
2 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus leaves for serving
2 tablespoons olive oil
Arugula, cucumber, and carrot for serving

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lime juice. Let sit 15 minutes.
In a food processor, pulse chickpeas, scallions, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until a chunky paste forms. In a large bowl, stir together chickpea mixture, rice, carrot, breadcrumbs, cilantro, and 2 tablespoons yogurt mixture. Divide into 4 patties. (To freeze, wrap each patty in plastic and freeze, up to 2 weeks. Let thaw before cooking.)
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium. Cook patties until lightly golden and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with remaining yogurt sauce and cilantro leaves.
