directions

Step 1

In small bowl, stir mayonnaise, lemon juice and curry paste.

Step 2

In pot of boiling salted water, cook sweet potato until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.

Step 3

In food processor, grind cashews, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add sweet potato and egg; purée until smooth. Add chickpeas, half of the bread crumbs and the cilantro; pulse to combine (chickpeas should still be a bit chunky).

Step 4

With wet hands, shape into six, 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick patties; pat both sides with remaining bread crumbs to coat. Place on greased tray and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

In large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry patties, turning once, until cooked through and lightly browned on the outside, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 6

Cut naan bread or pita bread in half. Toast or grill, if desired. Top patties with Curry Mayonnaise, lettuce, onion and tomato.
