What’s in this Curry Veggie Burger?
Plant-based burgers often get a bad wrap because they usually take a lot of ingredients to make said burger taste delicious. Well, I’m here to show you that these Curry Veggie Burgers are actually quite easy to make and only require a few ingredients.
For this recipe you will need:
- Kidney beans
- Curry powder
- Egg
- Parsley
- Parmesan
- Breadcrumbs
- Hamburger Buns
- Cheddar Cheese
- Variety of toppings
Tips for Making this Curry Veggie Burger:
- Kidney Beans. I used canned kidney beans for this recipe. You can certainly use fresh kidney beans from scratch. However, if you go that route you will need to factor that into your cooking time.
- Curry powder. If you want a more intense curry flavor you will need to add in more curry powder. Curry isn’t spicy, it’s more like adding warmth to your dish.
- Breadcrumbs. I personally use panko breadcrumbs because they are lighter and more airy. However, if you can’t find panko breadcrumbs make sure you find plain style breadcrumbs at the grocery store.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to use kidney beans to make these Curry Veggie Burgers?
Yes and no. I have not tried this recipe using either black bean or pinto, both would be an excellent substitute. If you do make this recipe using a different type of bean let me know!
What skillet do you recommend cooking these Curry Veggie Burgers in?
Great question! You will need to use an oven safe non-stick skillet. Or if you don’t have any oven-safe skillet, find a skillet with a lid so you can make sure the burgers cook evenly.
Do you have to add cheddar cheese to the burgers?
Any kind of cheese will work! Personally, gouda would taste amazing!
How long will leftovers keep in the fridge?
These Curry Veggie Burgers will keep up to 3 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container.
