Ingredients

  • 200g roasted butternut squash (cooked weight)
  • 2 tbsp cooked leeks (steamed, boiled, roasted or sautéed)
  • 2 tbsp mashed potato (or leftover boiled potatoes)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander
  • 1 tin of chickpeas
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • ½  tsp ground cumin
  • ½  tsp ground coriander
  • A little vegetable oil for frying (optional)

Method

  1. Dice the squash, finely chop the leeks, mash the potato if not already, peel and crush the garlic and chop the fresh coriander. In a large bowl mash the chickpeas a little with a potato masher or fork, then add all the other ingredients except the oil. Mash everything together until evenly mixed, but still with some texture.
  2. Form the mixture into patties/burgers, approx. 6cm x 1cm deep.
  3. To cook you can either pan fry in a little vegetable oil over a medium heat for approx. 5 minutes on each side, or you can bake in the oven at 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6 for approx. 20 minutes, turning over halfway through. Whichever method you use, ensure the patty is piping hot all the way through, then allow to cool before serving.
  4. For a light bite, serve with a mint yogurt dip or you can also serve the chickpea patties for your toddler’s main meal with salad or green vegetables.
