I really want something breaded!

[happy1nluv]

I know... not the most nutritious, but I really want something breaded and fried.  I don't have any eggplant or wheat gluten... 

Any ideas?

(anything nut or bean based would be great... I dont have a lot of veggies on hand at the moment)

thanks!!

How about making a bean burger? You can make it with beans, an egg, spices and whatever else you have. Fry it and you're good to go!

Do you have garbanzo bean flour by chance? You can make vegetable pakora. Sooo yummy.

ooohhh.. now i want pakoras :)   I think I might have to try pan frying these ...  :)

And... I tried making some patties with chickpeas, spinach, egg, and spices.  I dipped them in breadcrumbs and fried... and they totally disintegrated in the pan with the oil...  it was a pretty thick mix before I breaded them -- they totally held their shape ok...  anyone know what that means?  (I didnt measure, but it made about a 1/2 food processor full, and i used 2 eggs)

How about the thai green curry tofu patties by the FatFree Vegan blog?  Super yummy.  

They're not fried, but they are breaded.  You probably could fry them.  Check em out: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2011/05/green-curry-tofu-cakes.html
