Chickpea Burgers

can i use whole wheat flour? That's what I have in the house right now.

This is nice and easy. I put everything in the food processor even the carrots and the cooked onion. I did add a little egg substitute to bind it together.

Quite good--I used the peanut butter version as I didn't have any tahini on hand...at first I thought the PB flavor was too much, but it grew on me and by the time I finished, I wanted more!  Once I had the beans and veggies pureed I just threw the dry ingredients right into the food processor, too, and that worked fine.  The burgers held together quite well--no need for any kind of binder.

ok. so these are really really tasty. and they almost remind me of falaffels.
but one thing. i dont know if i made them too big or what mine burgers were soft. even after the frying.
maybe not enough flour? idk any suggestions?

Oh boy I want to try this recipe so bad! Now with the chickpea flour... can I buy that or how would I go about making it? If I have a coffee gringer could I just take some dry chickpea's and make it that way?

Chickpea or "gram" flour is available at any Asian supermarket and often from healthfood stores. Grinding chickpeas in a home grinder will burn out the motor. Ask me how I know this... unless you have something huge like a Vitamix or other power machine. Where I live, gram flour is stonkingly cheap anyway.

Oh geeze, thank you. My mom would have killed me if I broke her coffee grinder.

These are DELICIOUS!  The ingredients and directions were easy to follow except for saying curry powder one place and cumin in another, so I just used them both.  Substituted cilantro for the parsley and chose the peanut butter option.  I made the batter yesterday and put it in the fridge until this evening.  The patties stayed together nicely.   A really awesome burger, great topped with some sweet chili sauce!

Loved these!! I made the Tahini version and subbed whole wheat pastry flour and about 1 TBS dried parsley b/c that's what I had in the kitchen. Turned out great!!

These are so good! I used curry powder, not cumin, and chucked in some coriander as well. I also replaced the parsley with fresh coriander. I didn't measure very carefully, which maybe explains why I ended up with about 6 large, rather mushy patties. They were totally delicious, but not exactly patty-shaped! Luckily, I'm not fussy. as long as they taste good - which they do!

These were great!  I followed the recipe exactly, but cooked them on a griddle instead on in a frying pan.  I was afraid they were going to stay mushy in the middle, like most bean burgers do, but they worked out pretty well on the griddle.  I also let them sit for a while after they were cooked - that may have helped. 
I will definitely make them again - and try different toppings!
