These delicious homemade veggie burgers are inspired by a classic Indian dish starring chickpeas in a spicy tomato gravy. Mango powder, also known as amchoor, is made from dried green mangoes and lends an earthy-tart flavor to Indian dishes. Look for it in Asian markets. In the end I ate this patty on a toasted whole-wheat bun topped with avocado, salsa and lettuce but I had to take a few fancy, pretty pictures first! Tomorrow I'll eat a few patties over salad for lunch.
