Dissolve Chia seeds in 2 tbsp of water. Let rest while you chop all the veggies. Stir before use

Roast coriander seeds, cumin seeds and fennel seeds till aroma changes and a slight browning

• Grind them together
  

Chop all vegetables and garlic together and mix with the meat. I use a fork to mash everything together.

• Add salt and dissolved chia seeds at the end when ready. You can use oats instead along with one beaten egg.
• Healt pan with a couple of tbsp of oil. Only enough to coat the bottom. Turn to medium once the shimmer starts.
• Form loose patties with the meat mixture
• Add a sliced tomato on top and press it down
• Place gently in the pan, tomato side up. Cook for 2 minutes
• Flip carefully and cook for 2-3 minutes the tomato side down. You can also skip the tomatoes. I do.

Serve with rice, naan or my favouriet as a burger topped with jalapeno peppers, lettuce and more pepper jelly/
