I used to always buy ready-made veggie burgers but was never that impressed with them. A lot of the shop-bought ones are very high in fat or pretty tastless - or both! So I found this excellent recipe and have been making my own ever since. They’re great served in baps with a salad…

Curried Veggie Burgers - serves 4

1 tbsp oil
2 chopped onions
1 crushed clove garlic
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 chopped celery sticks
2 tsp curry powder
2 tbsp chopped parsley
500 g (1 lb) potatoes boiled and mashed
salt & pepper to taste
wholewheat breadcrumbs
oil for shallow frying

Heat the 1 tbsp oil in a pan and fry onions until soft. Add carrots, garlic and celery and fry for 5 minutes. Add curry powder and fry for one more minute.

Stir the vegetable mixture into the mashed potatoes and season to taste. Divide mixture into 8, shape into round burgers and coat with breadcrumbs. Flatten them and shallow fry for 2 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.
