Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Put the potato wedges on 2 baking trays, drizzle over 1 tbsp oil and season. Toss to coat; bake for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, put 125g spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1½-2 mins until wilted. Cool a little, then squeeze out any excess liquid and finely chop. Mix with the onion, carrot, chickpeas, flour and garam masala and some seasoning; shape into 4 patties.
- Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the burgers for 3-4 mins, turning halfway, until golden. Transfer to the baking trays with the wedges and return to the oven for 15 mins to cook through.
- Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the raita in a bowl. Season and set aside.
- Divide the remaining spinach between the rolls, add the burgers and top with a spoonful of raita. Serve with the potato wedges and remaining raita.
