onion bhaji burgers with mango

Onion bhaji burgers with mango and curry mayo. Honestly I love burgers. Vegan burgers are the best, there’s so many variations to play with.

Your new favourite burger!

A few weeks ago my partner was eating his Indian take-away. We have a lovely restaurant nearby called Koh-I-Noor, check it out if you’re ever in Barcelona. They’re so nice there and they have loads of vegan options. Anyway, being the good boyfriend he is, he shared his onion bhajis with me. As I’m eating them I’m thinking: “what if I make these into a burger?”. And thus the onion bhaji burger idea with mango and curry mayo was born. I’ll also share my burger bun recipe soon!

These bhaji burgers are irresistible!

Onion Bhajis

These onion bhaji burgers are based on a traditional Indian dish. Onion bhajis. They’re a typical Indian dish, usually served as a small snack. Depending on the region, the seasoning in these differs. But they all share a common base. Sliced onion tossed in chickpea flour with spices, fried in very hot oil. The crunchy texture combined with the spices go very well together with the fresh mango and curry mayo.

Curry Mayo

For the curry mayo, you can use any vegan mayo you want. All you need to do is add a spoonful of curry powder. I always buy all my spices at the local shops here. I usually go for a mildly spicy curry powder mix. There’s obviously many different types of mixes, feel free to dive in and read more here. What you could also do of course, is make my aioli recipe and add curry powder!
