Black Bean Burger

Update: While the original black bean burger recipe post went live in February 2012, the pictures and parts of the recipe were updated in July 2016. Below is the original post.

There are plenty of reasons why I chose to not post for GMT (again) this week.

My blogger’s block hasn’t been helping me in getting rid of the backlog, but till the pending recipes aren’t posted I am not clicking any more pictures.

I’m the banal one. But, I can be nice too. I did make his favorite Baingan ka Bharta (roasted and mashed eggplant) for lunch. For dinner, we went out. 🙂
