Chickpea Aloo Burger
Every week my son craves to eat burger and I try to be creative with my burger patties to squeeze in extra nutrients. This week I tried Chickpeas and Aloo sliders and it was a big hit. The burger patties along with other ingredients tasted absolutely delicious and we are adding this recipe to our weekly menu.I think this would be the perfect recipe to share for long weekend as everyone loves grilling during hot weather. The burger patties came together super quickly and I used some fun ingredients to add flavors to it. The patties can be made ahead of time and they freeze well for few weeks. This would be a perfect lunch box option for kids. Lookout for a reels video on Instagram on how to make these. I love to see you all recreate my recipe so if you do make it, please DM me.
