Best Vegetarian Bollywood Lentil Burgers And Nuggets Recipes
VEGAN LENTIL BURGERS
These burgers are packed with flavor, fiber and protein while still being low in fat. We love them grilled, but you can also pan-fry them: Heat 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and fry patties until well browned, about 2 minutes per side. (Remember: The extra oil will alter the calorie and fat totals.)

Steps:
- Bring the lentils and 1 3/4 cup of the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer until the lentils are fully softened and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon broth and mash well with a potato masher. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the spinach, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and cumin and stir until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Add the spinach mixture, breadcrumbs, walnuts and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the lentils and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Form the mixture into six 4-inch patties and spray with cooking spray on each side. Grill until nice grill marks form, about 3 minutes per side. Place the patties in the buns with the sliced onion and other toppings, as desired, and serve.

VEGETARIAN-BOLLYWOOD LENTIL BURGERS AND NUGGETS
A meatless vegetable, lentil and tofu burger that has awesome texture and tastes great, too. Size of burgers is optional. Make small ones and eat like "nuggets" as a snack food or appetizer. They can also be pressed onto a bamboo skewer or pop-stick for a veggie sate effect. I have been cooking professionally for 25+ years and I tend to write recipes that have a lot of leeway and variation built into them. I apologize. The most important thing about this recipe is this: After the "batter" has chilled, if it is not a bit heavy and paste like, you need to add more flour, or even some fresh or dried whole wheat bread crumbs. Egg rings are also good to use to help form them into shape. Once you have cooked them they may be frozen and then defrosted. You can also put them onto a BBQ after the first cooking to give them a BBQ taste. This stuff is pretty much bullet proof, so have some fun with it. Don't tell your kids they are healthy and you might be surprised at the reaction when they do eat them. I have also breaded and fried them after cooking once and then prepared them Parmesan style with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce with a side of pasta. And, I have stuffed them into burritos, too. Again, use your imagination and enjoy. Bean appetite!
