Golden, crispy, and bursting with bold flavor, these Curried Rice Patties with Tahini Dressing are a delightful fusion of savory spices and creamy indulgence. Made with fluffy jasmine rice, chickpea flour, and a fragrant blend of curry powder, cumin, and paprika, these patties are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Fresh cilantro, green onions, and a hint of lemon juice add brightness, while a velvety tahini dressing—perfectly balanced with tangy lemon and sweet maple syrup—takes this dish to the next level. Ready in just 35 minutes, this gluten-free and vegan-friendly recipe is perfect as a light lunch, appetizer, or side dish. Serve them warm with a drizzle of dressing, and watch them disappear!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked jasmine rice, chickpea flour, curry powder, ground cumin, paprika, chopped cilantro, green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients well until they bind together. The mixture should feel slightly sticky. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 8-10 patties.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed, and season to taste.
Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the curried rice patties warm, drizzled with tahini dressing and optionally garnished with extra chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
