Ingredients needed
Quinoa – 1 cup cooked
Black Beans/black turtle beans – 1/2 cup cooked
Potato – 1 small size boiled
Oats flour – 1/4 cup
Carrot – 1/3 cup grated finely
Oil – 2 tsp
Onion – 1 finely chopped
Ginger-garlic paste – 1/4 tsp
Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Cumin Powder – 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil for tawa frying the patties
Preparation
Cook quinoa as given in How to cook quinoa? Leave it to cool.
If using dried black beans, soak it overnight and pressure cook until soft. Drain the water, mash it and keep it aside.
Heat 2 tsp of oil in a pan, add onions and fry until transparent. Add ginger garlic paste and saute for a few more minutes. Add chilli powder, cumin powder, salt needed and cook for a few more minutes. Remove from heat and leave it to cool.
Method
In a bowl, mix together cooked quinoa, cooked and mashed black beans.
Add sauteed onion mixture, mashed potato, oats powder (just powder oats to make oats flour), grated carrot and mix well.
Add salt to taste. You can add any dry herbs if preferred but not necessary.
Mix well and bring it together to form a dough. Divide the mixture into equal parts and make smooth balls out of it. Then flatten the balls to form patties as shown in the picture below. (Note – you can freeze these patties at this stage, if you want to make it a day later. Bring it to room temperature before frying).
Heat oil (around 1-2 tsp per patties) in a tawa and fry the patties on low heat until golden brown on both sides.
Enjoy it hot with green chutney. It goes best with green chutney. As I was not in a mood to make green chutney, we had it with leftover onion tomato chutney.

If you don't have oats, can you substitute something else?
You can substitute bread crumbs.
It is a great recipe! I was a little misled by the prep time. It does take longer than 20 min to make this.
Very nice Padhu, can we substitute thata payiru instead of black beans, also instead of oats flour can we use any other flour? Thank you
You can use thata payaru. Instead of oats, you can try using almond flour or maida or cornflour.
