Moong dhal, red lentils, spinach and tomatoes came together with some nice Indian-ish spices and made a really hearty, filling dinner.
But I accidentally made a lot, probably enough for two Andy-and-me sized meals. Since I was home alone and did not feel like eating cold dhal, nor like heating it up on the stove, I thought I should come up with a creative use for the leftovers. So the next day, I added some oats and some gluten flour for dhal burgers. I decided to bake them, and while the oven was on I also baked some fresh bread rolls.
Burgers and bread with vegan mayo and some cucumber--yum.

Mmmmm I love dahl. I also love that you made it into burgers!!!
Great leftover idea, the burgers look fantastic! I too am a lover of dhal. There is something so simple and comforting about it.
Dhal burgers sound like the best thing ever! I love how you can make a veggie burger out of any leftover bean and grain combo.
Brrrilliant, I gotta try this. I have jars of mung that I never seem to cook because I know I won't want it cold, actually. Burgers are so much better!
Sounds like a great way to use up leftovers. I've really got to try cooking dhal more often and it's good to know you can turn the leftovers into something quite different.
So inventive! Thanks for the idea!
Yum, those burgers are a great idea.
I just made a great dish with moong dal yesterday. You pre-soak the dal and cook it along with basmati rice, cauliflower, peas, spinach, a tomato, and Indian spices, including a healthy dose of cardamom. Let me know if you want the recipe.
