Cover the pan and cook the lentils with 1 cup of cold water and 1 teaspoon of sea salt at low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the water is almost absorbed.

Chop 2 onions. To avoid crying, freeze them for 15 minutes before chopping.

Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the onions and 4 smashed garlic cloves over low heat for 15 minutes.

Juice 6 carrots and 6 small beetroots to collect dried fibers.

Add the dried fibers from the juiced carrots and beetroots to the frying pan with the cooked onions and garlic.

Stir in 1 coffee spoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 coffee spoon nutmeg, ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon sea salt.

Add the precooked lentils to the frying pan along with 200 ml vegetable broth, and cook covered for 30 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Remove the pan from the stove and let it cool down to ambient temperature.

In a bowl, mix in 1 egg and 1 cup of flour with the cooled mixture.

Assemble the burgers using a circular template, and place them on a piece of baking paper.

Spray the burgers with vegetable oil.

Cook in the oven at 230 degrees Celsius (or 200 degrees Celsius in an air fryer) for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and crunchy.

Serve with a side dish of your choice, such as plain rice and vegetable stir fry.
