This is a very good vegetarian burger. I made this dish just as you directed, except I did add a couple of dashes of hot pepper flakes. It worked very well with the corriander, and gave it another layer of flavor. We actually enjoy a no meat lunch sometimes, and this is a good dish to make on those days. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I will be using it again!

These were good. I forgot to add the egg and they still didn't fall apart.

I love chickpeas, so I really love these burgers. I sauteed the onion with the garlic before add it to the chickpea mixture, so the flavor was not too intense. I followed the rest of the recipe and the result was very good, there were tasty and crunchy, thanks for posting this recipe.

I made this the other night and refrigerated it for lunch. I'm still not sure whether or not I like these. They are a little bland, though that may have been because I used one can of chickpeas, which is about 1 1/2 cups and cooked a "tester". It had WAY too much onion, and I only used a half of a medium onion. They were very crumbly, but I had rice with them and just mixed it all together. Probably will make again with several adjustments.

This recipe is great because it's so flexible and tastes SO good! I substituted the coriander for cumin because my family is a little anti-coriander. I also added an extra egg (which I didn't need) but the burgers still held their shape because of the chickpeas. I'm definitely using this one again - thank you Pets'RUs!
