Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice
• 0.5 cups Chickpea flour
• 2 teaspoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 cups Chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.75 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
• 0.25 cups Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Water (for dressing)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (for dressing)
• 1 teaspoons Maple syrup
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (for dressing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked jasmine rice, chickpea flour, curry powder, ground cumin, paprika, chopped cilantro, green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients well until they bind together. The mixture should feel slightly sticky. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 3

Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 8-10 patties.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed, and season to taste.

Step 6

Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the curried rice patties warm, drizzled with tahini dressing and optionally garnished with extra chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
