Preparation

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute ginger, chili, garlic and spices for 1-2 mins, or until fragrant. Add 1/2 cup water and lentils. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally, or until mixture thickens. Let cool.
Transfer lentil mixture to a food processor along with chickpeas, 1/2 the breadcrumbs and egg. Process until smooth. Season to taste.
Shape mixture into 8 flattened patties. Coat in remaining breadcrumbs then arrange on a tray and chill until required.
Heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, cook patties for 3-4 mins per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Spread yogurt over each burger roll. Top with a lentil patty, carrot ribbons, sweet chili sauce, a dollop of yogurt and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve.
