[@mahfuzamaisha2213]

Can I substitute oats with something else? Like maybe "chira" . I'm not sure if you're familiar with this ingredient but would really appreciate your feedback!

[@infinitycupcake]

Ugh I would love to have a cup of tea with you and talk food.

[@Veganlovlie]

+Finn Starr - That would be fantastic. I would love this. We can connect on Facebook if you want. This is my profile: facebook.com/teenuja.veganlovlie

[@PinskyKyaroru]

I am in a personal quest for a great vegan burger. I will definitely try your recipe. BTW, loved your video, the editing and the way you explained how to prepare the burgers, it was very relaxed (I don't really like it when people rush in their vids, only my opinion). You have a great channel as well. Big hugs!

[@Veganlovlie]

CarolNav Thank you so much for your nice words. It means a lot to us to see comments like these. Let me know how you like the burgers when you try them. Cheers. :) ♥

[@rajalakshmij8400]

TOTALLY concur with your comments. It was only last evening I came across this video. Kept on wondering how to find the right words to express what I felt. You summed up it up. Thank you both very much.

[@qualqui]

Ymmmm....homemade Veggie burgers, made of chickpeas and eggplant, fried 'til golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside and eatened in homemade hamburger bun, and healthy buns at that! Thumbs up Veganlovlie, thanks for sharing and sendin' ya greetings from Mexico! :)

[@Veganlovlie]

+Sunyukta Au - I can't reply to you directly because of your google+ settings. If you are using the Chinese eggplant, the long and thin one, I recommend you soak it for about 10 - 15 minutes in salty water. But the globe eggplant or aubergine type does not need soaking, it's a lot less bitter. I'll try to think of some recipes with coconut flour. Thanks for commenting. :)

[@hanounours]

+Veganlovlie | Vegan Fusion-Mauritian Cooking Thanks for this vid! Which sauce did you use? Thanks!

[@susansiderssmith]

I love, love your recipes. Thank you. I have been enjoying a vegan lifestyle for only 2 months now so I have much to learn. My health has improved so much, it's very exciting to realize food is my medicine. I now eat to live. Thank you for your help!

[@Veganlovlie]

Wooow, it is so uplifting to read such comments. We're so happy for you Susan. Yes, we can totally relate to how much positive impact a vegan diet can have on one's health. Keep it up and do drop us some of your positive messages from time to time; it helps motivate others. ❤

[@thetruthhurts599]

[@sharonslife6153]

Excellent, thanks for sharing

[@marcipetra1]

Nice recipe, will definitely try it out, keep going !

[@bobschmob8233]

Love your recipes and your videos! So peaceful, loving and nutritious! Thank you💛 Is there a substitute for eggplant?

[@saphirakaiser5945]

First of all, a big complimient to you! I really enjoy watching your videos and you can see that you make them with lots of love! I will definitely give these burgers a try! Is it also possible to use chickpea flour instead of chickpeas?

[@Veganlovlie]

Thank you for your nice comment. We do enjoy making these videos and we're glad it shows. :) I don't think chickpea flour will work for these burgers as it will lack the texture of mashed chickpeas. You may use other beans like black beans, red kidney beans or white chickpeas. In the case of white chickpeas, you may need to reduce the liquid or add more oats as they tend to contain more moisture than brown chickpeas.

[@RanDom-bk8tt]

Wow that looks delicious! :O Can't wait to try it in the fall~ it's too hot right now lol and I LOVE the fact that they freeze well because I'm the type that likes to make a big batch. And yes!!! I was wondering if you bought those buns because they seem so soft! But I should have known! You awesome skills made them! Can't wait for that video~!!

[@Veganlovlie]

Ran Dom Yes, I always make a big batch when I make burgers, it saves me so much time later on. I am working on the buns now. :)

[@etahenry3377]

Thanks a wonderful recipe Blessings to you

[@smallfootprint2961]

Great recipe. Thanks for posting.

[@amritkaurkhalsa5345]

Very nice, I will try it sometime.

[@vilmaestrada945]

Can I substitute black beans for the brown/black chick peas and get the same results? Thanks.

[@rlf4403tube]

Hello i am glad to have found your channel... have you got a video for Mauritius Vegetable ACHARD pls? Thanks for your vegan recipes!

[@Eidann63]

For once a vegan burger without walnuts. I like them but we have allergies in family. This looks like a moist recipe; tasty.

[@1024specialkay]

omgosh I can't wait to try these!

[@hageadan]

It looks amazing!

[@Veganlovlie]

Thank you. :)

[@raziafatima5835]

very delicious and healthy recipes 😛

[@whatever123651]

Love how it looks. I will try it. Why are your chickpeas brown?

[@divinereikihealingwithsun]

Hi Teenuja, nice recipe, gonna try this out tonight! I wanted to know if the bringals, once cut, have to be soaked in salty water? That's what my mom usually does. Thanks! Would be great if you could suggest a few recipes which make use of coconut flour....salty and sweet? Thanks :)

[@Veganlovlie]

+Sunyukta Au - Hi Sunyukta, I couldn't reply to you directly before because of your google+ settings and therefore responded with another separate comment on this video (3 months ago). Not sure if you've seen it. It seems like you've changed the G+ settings now and I thought of pasting the response back here. If you are using the Chinese eggplant, the long and thin one, I recommend you soak it for about 10 - 15 minutes in salty water. But the globe eggplant or aubergine type does not need soaking, it's a lot less bitter. I'll try to think of some recipes with coconut flour. Thanks for commenting. :)

[@Veganlovlie]

+Sunyukta Au - Did you try the recipe btw? How did it go? :)

[@G5205]

Thank you!

[@rajalakshmij8400]

Good morning . Please accept my heartfelt thanks , congratulations & best wishes. (I am a senior citizen. Old woman. Harbouring somewhat certain kind of prejudices regarding young generation.....my only child says ...I am somewhat ''dogmatic...'') I had almost given up on life ....dejected ..while browsing seeking catharsis by watching some old movie(s) stumbled upon your channel / video. Trust me , you completely dispelled my gloom reviving my zest for life once again. Nutritionally , presentation wise etc etc in every way you are the BEST. You are so RELAXED . I have forwarded your video link to my son who is also in the same dilemma ...how to strike the right balance between good nutrition & vegetarian cooking.....he & his wife are growing organic vegetables selling them in Farmers' Market. I am most certain your cooking would be a great inspiration to both of them. Thank thank you thank you very much.

[@tishasomeone9141]

HOW are you this amazing?! :o

[@rajalakshmij8400]

Indeed yes. God does make certain people very very exceptional & flawless . Amazing truly.

[@kiaraleos1614]

That burger looks magical! Awesome burger! wish you could come over my house to help me lol!

[@Veganlovlie]

+Kiara Leos - Lol, that would be great! The more friends living around me, the better and the more fun we can have. The burger is quite easy to make and I hope that you try it :) Where are you from by the way? Thank you for stopping by Kiara.

[@kiaraleos1614]

I live in N. Carolina!

[@JohnKesselChannel]

Hi Veganlovlie! I thought your recipe video production (and the end result) looked fantastic. I want to try this recipe soon. Thought you may like to know that the addition of soy sauce contains gluten! A good substitute may be tamari sauce or liquid aminos. Aside from that, thanks for a very promising vegan burger!

[@Veganlovlie]

+John Kessel - Hi John, thank you for the nice feedback on the videos. I understand what you mean and this is the reason why I've actually included a soy-free & gluten free soy sauce recipe in the video annotations (the "i" icon at the top right corner of the video). This is the direct link to the alternative soy sauce recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYeqnIipjbeais0 But of course you can use Tamari soy sauce (this is the one that I use sometimes too). Thank you for stopping by John. :)

[@sandywindham170]

Very excited about this recipe. Can regular chickpeas be substituted?

[@AbundantcityNet]

Looks delicious!

[@Veganlovlie]

Abundant City Hope you give it a try. :)

[@wem-c9f]

The eggplant itself looks 😋😋 why cant fine paste for chickpeas?

[@GoranMak]

That looks so delicious, and maybe somebody has already asked, but can you tell me what BROWN chick peas are? I know the regular chickpea (or garbanzo) but have never heard of the brown version. Are they dried perhaps? Thank you.

[@Veganlovlie]

Brown chickpeas are just another variety of chickpeas; they have a more earthy taste and they are a little bit drier with a thicker skin. You can usually find them at Indian or Asian stores.

[@GoranMak]

Thank you!!

[@sweetegirl135]

this made me sooo hungry! so trying this :3

[@Veganlovlie]

+Awacolours135 - Awesome! I'm sure it'll turn out great and thank you for the nice comment.

[@Tiagotaf]

Amazing recipe! Thank you! Also, we don't have maple syrup here in Brazil, do you have a suggestion to replace it?

[@johncole4882]

Tiago Feitosa agave syrup or date syrup.

[@johncole4882]

Tiago Feitosa how is there no maple syrup in all of brazil

[@Allahowahed]

thanks a lot.. what can I use instead of oats ? I wait for replying, thanks again

[@Eidann63]

Who has actually MADE these? I see many comments on how good the burgers "Look" and many who say they will be making them; but, no reviews on them. Please, if anyone tried these, would you leave your opinion on how they tasted to you. Thank you.

[@shirleyclark5184]

thank you so much for sharing

[@akumarmalai]

Nice. Thanks for the recipe!!! Did u make the mayo yourself too?

[@Veganlovlie]

Yes. We have the recipe for mayonnaise on the channel here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqbMk5yFhrSHqqs :)

[@seattlejayde]

Love it!!

[@makikhan7079]

your recipes are wonderfull 😊

[@htrimmm915]

That looks great

[@juliabrown1495]

Looks delicious

[@someonesomewhere6633]

I want to make a great veggie burger for my omnivore brother and I'm wondering if I could use black beans instead of kala chana (I could dry them a little in the oven if that's necessary)? Thank you very much for sharing this recipe, it looks amazing and I'm sure it's delicious too!

[@Veganlovlie]

+Stella Deli Yes you can use black beans. You don't need to dry them, just add a little more oats if the mixture is too watery or use less of the fresh herbs (to reduce the water a little bit). But black beans should work fine.

[@someonesomewhere6633]

Thank you! :)

[@twinny12009]

Great recipe but I don't like aubergines. Can you recommend a substitute or can I just leave it out? Thanks.

[@susannahayres-thomas7185]

Yum!

[@Veganlovlie]

+Susannah Ayres-Thomas ❤

[@hardipkalyan4214]

Can I use white chickpeas instead of black? Thanks for the recipe.

[@sabrinramadan7441]

youre recipes are amazing 😍

[@Veganlovlie]

+Sabrin Ramadan Thank you Sabrin. It's a pleasure for me to share these recipes, I'm glad you like them. :)

[@ramdesvaux]

Good morning. Can I substitute with red kidney beans or black beans? I do not have any chick peas in the house at the moment.

[@richardaustin939]

So awesome. Phenomenal

[@aiducha]

Great recipe. I would fry the eggplant I think!! What else can you use instead of oats? I find it abhorrent 😊. Thank you!!

[@Veganlovlie]

+Aida Strocovsky You don't actually taste the oats at all in this burger. It acts as a binder to absorb the moisture and hold everything together. Other than oats, you could use breadcrumbs. The amount you'll need will vary though. Add as needed to reach a consistency that you can handle and form the burgers.

[@divaextraordinary]

Can I use ordinary white chick peas for this recipe?

[@karylary6091]

Could i peel the eggplant before u cook it?

[@mogyesz225]

Dear Teenuja, which method would you recommend more to preserve them? To freeze them before cooking or after?

[@Veganlovlie]

+László Marosi It depends on what is more convenient for you. If freezing them before cooking, you'll have to be careful to place the burgers as flat as possible in the container, because they are still soft and can go out of shape. But they cook better and have a nicer texture when cooked from frozen. So, that's the plus side. On the other hand, cooking them first, then freezing, makes it more convenient to just reheat them before eating. Also they are easier to place in a container since the outer crust gives them a better structure to stay in shape. So, it's up to you which option works best for you. I personally prefer to cook them first up to almost cooked (like 85 percent) then freeze them. When reheated, they cook a little bit more and are ready in less time. I hope this helps. :)

[@mogyesz225]

Veganlovlie | Vegan Mauritian-Fusion Cuisine It definitely helped me, thank you very much for the detailed answer! :)

What could substitute the oatmeal? I would like to try grain-free.

[@AmericanExpatInThePhilippines]

I wouldn't make this recipe unless I could taste one first. Nice presentation, though.
