- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (adjust up or down per your taste)
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- ¼ cup shallots (or red onions, minced)

- ¼ cup chickpea flour or besan
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 4 large cremini mushrooms or button mushrooms (minced)
- 2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 2 tablespoon cilantro (finely chopped)

For cooking and serving

Instructions
- Make the burgers:
- Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and mash slightly with a potato masher or heavy spoon. You want some of the chickpeas to remain whole.
- Add the remaining burger ingredients except the chickpea flour and cornstarch. Do not add the chutney mayo ingredients. Mix well and set aside for 15 minutes, to let the vegetables express their moisture.
- Add the cornstarch and chickpea flour. Mix well. The mixture should hold together when you press it into a ball. If needed, add more chickpea flour.
- Form eight patties. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Coat or spray with some vegetable oil and cook the patties on both sides, flipping over when the undersides turn golden-brown.
- Serve on a whole wheat burger bun with onions, tomatoes, greens, and mint chutney mayo.
- Make the Chutney Mayo:
- Place all the ingredients in a blender and whiz until well-blended and smooth.
