How to Prepare Indian Lentil Burgers With Dill Yogurt Sauce [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and mix well.
Peel and roughly chop the beet. Place into a food processor and pulse until it’s in small pieces.
Add the lentils, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, dill, salt, and garlic. Pulse again until the mixture becomes quite coarse and holds together.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Form burger shapes of the beet/lentil mixture and place on the hot skillet. Use wet hands to make this shaping process easier. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Next, flip over to the other side and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the burger is golden and heated throughout.
Serve the burgers in buns with shredded greens, sliced tomatoes and avocado, and the lemon dill sauce.
