delicious looking burger lovely meal
This sounds delectable and healthy. I too have a chickpeas burger on my space.
Glad to have found you Richa, gonna follow you pronto š
Thank you Gigi!
Thanks Susmitha.. i guess you can replace the patty with tofu or seitan. or make your own tempeh:) that should be fun!
Sriracha and Tabasco are similar, just different chillies and some different spices.. both will work fine!
Thank you Jeni!
Thank you CatsofStripes..hope this burger does change your thoughts about tempeh!
Yep, what Jeni said! Must bookmark. Super yum. Thanx for posting.
That looks soooper yum!! Iām a huge fan of tempeh ā the three grain kind in particular. š
Sadly tempeh isnāt commercially available here in India yet. So Iāve been thinking of ordering some tempeh starter online and trying my hand at making some at home myself.
Iāve been hearing a lot about this sriracha sauce lately. Sounds so yummy! Is it better than tabasco?
That sounds so good. I have a love/hate relationship with tempeh but this may convert me.
These are getting made!
Thank Krithi!
Havenāt tried tempeh.. Your pictures are very colorfulā¦
