Curried Cashew Burgers

Everyone loves them! I never really used cashews in the recipe and they taste great! I usually make 12 and freeze them so I can save them for later. Great recipe!

great flavor My husband and I love these burgers so I make them often. We normally eat a lot of Indian food and appreciate flavorful foods so these do the trick. I tweaked the recipe a bit- I add 1/4 teaspoon tumeric to the lentils when cooking and a tomato (sort of like making dal). I also add curry leaves to the onions/garlic/curry powder when frying. When I make the raita I only use yogurt, lime juice and crushed garlic. These patties also go very nice with fresh hummus instead of raita. Pros: easy to make, nutritious, vegan Cons: lots of steps

Flavorful Burger These were surprisingly quite tasty. I prefer them without the pita. Next time I will make them into balls and put in the pita. They pack a lot of flavor. Pros: Flavorful, easy to make can make ahead and cook later Cons: Pita is too much, I prefer them plain

Great flavor but mushy texture I've had my eye on this recipe for a while now and finally decided to make it. I couldn't find red lentils, so I used the green lentils that I had, which take longer to cook. I didn't want the carrots to be over-cooked, so I simmered the lentils for 25min before adding the carrots and simmering for an additional 15min. I also used 1/2 garam masala and 1/2 curry powder. Otherwise I followed the recipe. I enjoyed the flavor and found the cucumber mint riata to be light and refreshing. The texture was a bit mushy, so I would call this a patty as opposed to a burger, but it's still quite good. I liked the curry flavor paired with the toasted cashews and lentils. I also liked that these patties contained relatively few ingredients and were easy to put together. This was a wonderful dinner after working in the garden for a few hours. I thought a mojito seemed like a nature pairing given the flavors in the riata. Pros: Simple/few ingredients Cons: Mushy texture

great taste, but mushy These burgers fulfilled some of the criteria for what I have been searching for. They are tasty, and can be frozen, both big pluses. However, they use a lot of dishes to make, but I could deal with that if the texture was firmer. I will try adding an egg to see if that helps, or perhaps some oatmeal instead of the breadcrumbs. Definitely worth tweaking, though. Pros: flavourful, freezable, nutritious Cons: uses a lot of dishes, mushy texture

Awesome burgers!These burgers are awesome. My husband is not a big fan of vegetarian food but he LOVED these. Will definitely be making them again - they freeze great too.

Question Are these lentils dry or do they come from a can already cooked?

Curried cashew burgers I loved the sweet tenderness imparted by the carrots. These burgers are very delicious, especially with the raita, but not a quick weeknight dinner. Pros: Very delicious, but Cons: too many steps and pots for a quick weeknight dinner

The burgers were really yummy, but too mushy. I have split red lentils so I think they soaked up too much water. I will try using green lentils instead next time, and if it doesn't turn too watery, save some of those crumbs to roll the burgers in for an extra crunch. http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/curried_cashew_burgers.html

Possibly the best veggie burgers I've ever made. The mint raita and cucumbers really add to the flavor.
