Method

Step 1 of 4

Place lentils, onion and 2 cups water into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes (the lentils should have absorbed the water. If not, drain excess water and discard).

Step 2 of 4

Place lentils into a food processor with garam masala, cashews, coriander, mint, wheatgerm or oats and egg. Process until combined. Shape into 8 patties. Gently press pepitas into patties.

Step 3 of 4

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place patties onto a lightly greased oven tray. Bake for 20 minutes, turning once.

Step 4 of 4

Meanwhile, place dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Serve patties with dressing and steamed broccoli.
