Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the raita in a bowl. Season and set aside.
  5. 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.
