Spicy Bean Tawa Burgers

With soy, wheat gluten and pea protein meat substitutes increasingly taking centre stage in restaurants, I still crave great veggie burgers made with unprocessed natural legumes, pulses and vegetables. Here’s the recipe for one I make often at home. Beany veg masala and cheese inside a squishy sesame seed bun. Toast these achingly good burgers in melted butter and smoked paprika atop an iron tawa (or in a frying pan/skillet) for the searing warmth of flat iron-cooked Indian street buns.
