Method

1. Soak kidney beans overnight or at least 4 hours. Cook until soft using pot over stove, slow cooker or pressure cooker. Roughly mash the beans with a potato masher or food processor, but do not mesh until smooth, it should be coarse to create some texture.

2. Mix in chilli powder, coriander, corn/potato starch and 3/4 of the breadcrumbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Divide mixture into 4 equal size mould, shape into patties, and coat with the balanced breadcrumbs. Place into freezer for about 10 minutes to ensure patty keeps its shape when cooking.

4. Cook it:
☼ Using stove:
Heat frying pan with oil and cook each patty over gentle heat for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and warm though. Use two wooden spatulas for better control, if required. Repeat with other patties, using remaining oil. Keep the first batch warm in a low heat oven.

☼ Using Oven:

Preheat the oven to 190C / 180C(fan).  Evenly spread patties on a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a oven thermometer, ensure it is at the right temperature.  Pop them into the oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning once halftime, bake until golden brown.
 

☼ Using Airfryer:
Preheat the Airfryer to 180C for 3 minutes. Evenly spread patties in the fryer basket and slide the basket into the Airfryer. Set the timer to 20 minutes, turning once halftime, bake until golden brown.

5. Meanwhile, toast the sandwiches/buns a little if you like. Garnish, top with patty, then add the dressing or any sequence you like. Serve remaining garnish as side salad. Enjoy!
