Grind 1/2 cup walnuts until fine.

Soak kidney beans overnight and boil them in the morning.

Grind the boiled kidney beans with the walnuts until coarsely ground.

In a pan, heat oil and sauté 1 teaspoon garlic until fragrant.

Add 1 teaspoon green chili and 1 teaspoon ginger paste; sauté until the raw smell of garlic disappears.

Add 1 finely chopped large onion and sauté until translucent.

Once the onion is fragrant, add the kidney bean and walnut mixture to the pan and sauté.

Add 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, and salt to taste; mix well.

Sauté until the mixture is dry and moisture is absorbed.

Add 1-2 teaspoons of Mexican seasoning to taste and mix again; set aside to cool.

Once cooled, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of shriracha sauce.

Mash the mixture by hand to ensure it binds well.

Shape the mixture into burger patties.

If the mixture is too loose, add some oats flour to help bind it.

Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the patties until crispy on the outside and golden brown.

Alternatively, apply oil on both sides of the patties and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes until crispy.

Once cooked, place a cheese slice on top of each patty and cover until the cheese melts.

Slice the burger buns in half and butter them, then toast on both sides in the pan.

Spread your favorite dip on both sides of the buns.

Add salad leaves, the cheesy patty, onion slices, and tomato slices to the bun.

Close the burger and serve.
