I cooked something for the Lord today to celebrate the appearance day
of Sri Nrsimha!!!The festival will be observed tomorrow at the temple,
but we had a small feast at home today. Eze gave the lecture… he was
very accurate on his explanation of how Lord Nrsimhadev defeated
Hiranyakasipu… then we offered this simple preparations (vegan
burgers with mayonnaise, yellow rice with raisins, salad, apple chutney
and burfi), then kirtan and finally we honored prasadam

I will give you the recipe of the burgers, that are healthy and light. Actually it’s a personal adaptation of an ayurvedic recipe. Today I made the burgers like this:

INGREDIENTS FOR 24 VEGAN BURGERS:

2 cups lentils
7 - 8 cups water
4 Tablespoons rice
1/2 teaspoons yellow asafetida powder
2 teaspoons sunflower oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 potato
1 sweet potato
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry ginger
4 Tablespoons chickpea flour
2 eggs replacer. You can make it preparing this mixture: 4
Tablespoons plain flour + 1 teaspoon oil +1 teaspoon baking powder + 4
Tablespoons water
*You can use this replacer for any other recipe (I got it from Kurma Prabhu’s blog).

DIRECTIONS:

1. Lentils + rice + potato + sweet potato + water + asafetida. Cook and drain them.
2. Add the spices and the oil and mix well.
3. Add the egg replacer to the mixture, the salt and the pepper and mix again.
4. Finally, add the chickpea flour.
5. Make the pattys (use the Onigiri technique, dipping your hands in water before making every new patty).
6. You can either pan fry them or bake them. I decided the baking this time. 220º C, for 20 or 30 minutes.

I served them with mayonnaise… you still don’t know how to make eggless mayonnaise??? It’s veeeery easy.

Pour a little bit of milk in a container, maybe 100 ml, then, with the blender in
your hand, pour sunflower oil at the same time you blend it with the milk.
Go on pouring oil till you get the desired thickness. Add 1/2 teaspoon
of salt and a bit of lemon juice. Today I made it with asafetida
(according to Ayurveda, asafetida should be cooked but sometimes I skip
this rules for a higher purpose hehe) and fresh chopped coriander…
very tasty

Nrsimhadev Bhagavan ki jay!
