Indian Spiced Veggie Burgers

Ingredients:
1 large potato, peeled and diced (I used two red potatoes)
1/2 cup small cauliflower florets
1 1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup diced green onions
2 tsp curry powder
1 1/2 tsp. onion granules
1/4 tsp. fine sea salt (if you don't use unsalted cashews, omit this salt)
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper


Cook potato in boiling water until very soft, about 15 min.  Drain and cool slightly.  Cook cauliflower in boiling water until very soft, about 6 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Place cashews in food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground. In a large bowl, combine potato, cauliflower, cashews and remaining ingredients.  Use your hands to break up the chunks of potato and cauliflower, and press the ingredients until they hold together.  With damp hands, form into patties.  Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, then flip burgers and continue to bake until lighlty browned on the other side, about 15 more minutes.

For a less messy method of forming burgers dampen the inside of a 1/2 cup measuring cup and pack with burger mixture.  Turn the cup over and gently shake to release mixture. I then pressed gently on the burger to flatten it somewhat more.

I also cooked the burgers on my skillet and it worked just fine. Enjoy!

The picture doens't do it justice...these burgers were delicious!
