Soak lentils in water with a little bit of salt until soft.

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over slightly above medium heat.

Add 1 cup of onion, 1 cup of grated carrot, and 2 cups of grated potato to the pan; sauté for 4 minutes.

Add 1 cup of grated zucchini, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the pan; stir and cook for another 5-6 minutes.

Add the cooked lentils to the pan and mix well; cook for about 5-6 minutes while stirring.

Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool for about 10 minutes.

Once cooled, add 1 egg to the mixture and mix well with hands, squeezing to bind the ingredients together.

Form the mixture into burger patties, using a little flour underneath to prevent sticking.

If the mixture is too wet, place the patties in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up before frying.

In a skillet, heat oil (using corn oil) over slightly above medium heat; add the patties and cook for about 5 minutes on each side.
