Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and boil or steam until tender.

Step 2

Fry the onion, garlic and pepper until the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Add the spices and fry for a minute until fragrent.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine the chickpeas and onion mix. Bash the chickpeas around with a potato masher or fork until roughly mashed.

Step 5

Add in the cauliflower & stir till combined.

Step 6

Add the chickpea water and gram flour and stir until combined and able to be squished into a cohesiveish ball.

Step 7

Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and turn the oven on to Gas Mark 7/ 220C.

Step 8

Form the mixture into balls and squish into patty/burger shapes onto the tray. I found this easiest to do with my hands, although quite messy.

Step 9

Bake in the oven for 10 mins, then turn over, to bake for another 10 mins (or a bit longer if you want a more browned and crispy finish)

Step 10

Serve with salad, or in a bun.
