    Title: Lentil Burgers
    Categories: Burgers, Indian, Vegetarian
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1/2 c Lentils
    1 c Water
    2 tb Onion; chopped
    1/2 c Carrot; grated
    1 Tomato; chopped
    2 tb Sesame seeds
    1/2 c Besan (chickpea flour)
    1 ts Garam masala
    1/2 c Cilantro; chopped
    1 c Oil
    1/2 ts Black pepper powder
    Salt; to taste
    4 tb Tomato sauce
    1 lg Cucumber; sliced

    Cook lentils in a pressure cooker with water and tomato for 3 minutes
    after bringing to maximum pressure. Remove from heat and allow to
    cool before uncovering. There should not be any water in the lentils;
    if there is, drain and keep liquid for soups. Mash ingredients
    well--consistency should be firm. Add onions, carrots, garam masala,
    sesame seeds, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Lastly, add flour and mix
    well to form 4 to 6 individual patties.

    Heat oil in a skillet and saute the burgers on both sides until
    golden brown. As an alternative, these patties can also be baked at
    450?F for 30 minutes. Serve with slices of cucumber and some
    homemade tomato sauce.
