Spiced cashew nut burgers (with pic!)

Ok so I adapted this recipe from an article in a magazine that comes free with a newspaper

The original recipe suggests the mixture makes 4 burgers but I got 5 good sized portions and at nearly 100kcal less per portion

Ingredients:

150 grams raw cashew nuts
125 grams finely chopped onion
0.5 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 tsps coriander seeds or chopped coriander leaf
2 tsps ground cumin
2 crushed large cloves of garlic
160 grams grated carrot
1 heaped tbsp 0% Greek yoghurt
30-50 grams breadcrumbs (I used 30 but more can be added to make a thicker mix)
1 medium egg white (the recipe uses 1 egg but I omitted the yolk)
5 grams ground flax seed
Seasoning to taste
Wholemeal flour to dust

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and toast the cashews for 6-8 minutes, set aside to cool
Soften the chopped onion in the oil then add in the coriander and cumin.
Transfer to a blender/processor to make a paste
Grind the cooled cashews in the processor. Trying not to make them too fine (I like some crunch)
Mix the nuts into the onion mix then add the grated carrot, garlic, yoghurt, egg, breadcrumbs, flax and then season to taste

With floured hands (note I did leave out the small addition of flour to the recipe as I'm not that anal) roll and pat the mix into 5 burgers lightly dusting with some flour. You could make mini burgers if you wanted too!

Let the burgers cool in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to help set the mix

Then in a medium hot grill cook for 8-10 minutes turning half way. You can brush oil on if you want but I chose not to
