These burgers are very delicate to work with, so handle it gently while cooking.Also, you need to dip it in egg white before shallow frying, otherwise it may crack in the oil.This will be less time consuming if you already have some boiled chickpea or leftover channa curry.But make sure you completely drained the liquid.
