Amaranth and Red Lentil Patties

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Recipe for lentil patties made with amaranth and red lentils. Amaranth is significantly more nutritious compared to wheat and rice. It is rich in proteins, iron, calcium, manganese, fiber, and other nutrients. It is common to use this grain during fasting for vegetarians in India because higher protein foods make one feel fuller for longer. Here is a recipe you could use to include this high protein grain in your diet as everybody’s favorite, i.e. just cutlet snacks or burgers patties.

When cooked right, these patties are crunchy outside and soft inside. You can serve these patties as cutlets or in burgers for vegetarian patties. In the picture below, I used these patties in a waffle burger along with onions, cabbage, cucumber, and radish. Serve with ketchup or cilantro mint chutney.

    Hi Rupali,

    Can I just use the Amaranth powder instead of Rajgira here? If so, what is the quantity?

    Thank You

      Hi Kavitha, i would not substitute flour for whole rajgira, since it provides texture to pattie. To maintain the texture I would substitute with either cooked steelcut oats or cooked broken wheat. Do let me know if you give it a try.
