We are not huge fans of burgers. We avoid them when we can. But there are some days when we like a good burger. I personally like chicken burgers and rarely get vegetarian burgers. I have many friends who are absolute fans of black bean burgers. I decided to try my hands at making them at home. But instead of black beans, I used whole masoor. These masoor burgers were hearty, delicious and spicy, the way we like it. They made a very filling dinner.

Thank you for the recipe, I like this as Masoor is easier to digest for some as compared to black beans! Would they hold well for grilling?
They are quite delicate. So they may break easily on grill.
A healthy burger atleast for the kids rather than teh junk that MCdonald serves. I was searching for this kind of burger for long. Thanks for making it easy for me. I am going for this today and I am sure will be in for a surprise when they arrive back from school.
