This recipe turned out pretty good, but I didn't really follow it too well! All of these reviews were telling me that it falls apart way too easily! I seem to have corrected that problem! I ground up the tofu in the food processer. Then I boiled the carrots and onion to soften them and threw them into the food processer. I combined all of those ingedients and then added TWO eggs and the half cup of dry bread crumbs. I did not use zucchini or celery...because I did not have them, but I did have some leftover asparagus and cut up 3 stalks of that finely and added that to the mix. I added basil (but not fresh leaves as suggested, unfortunately), as well as a little Cumin, salt, pepper, and soy sauce, and one clove of garlic, cut finely. I mixed everything and then made patties and cooked as recipe suggested, and they turned out just great!

Even if the flavor is okay, this is not a burger. Unless you did not mean to use silken tofu, it is WAY too runny to form patties. I tried adding a cup of cooked rice, and extra cup of bread crumbs and it still had the wrong consistency.....

I used a potato press to remove the water from the shredded zucchini and I put the whole mixture through my food processor. We didn't have curry past so we just used kosher salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. It formed perfect burgers and tasted great!

This should not be called a burger- it did not hold together at all. The taste was very average- just like minced sauteed vegetables I will never make this again

Adding eggs to the recipe made the ingredients stick together a bit better, but this is still a mixture that falls apart. It tastes pretty good, but if you're expecting it to become a pattie you're out of luck. There is no way this stuff will stay together inside a bun. I had to serve it as just regular tofu stir-fry. Still, everyone enjoyed it so it's not too bad.

I had the same problem as many other people -- the mixture just didn't hold together. I even sauteed the vegetables before mixing them, but that didn't really help. What I ended up doing was just scrambling the entire mixture in a skillet to dry out the ingredients and then forming patties afterwards. My friend and I also tried baking them, but that won't work either unless the mixture is drier first. Tastewise, it was very bland (not sure if it was supposed to be that way). We added dry basil, seasoned pepper, and garlic salt for some flavor.

I thought it was okay, not great, but then, I'm not a huge tofu fan either. People in my family who like tofu loved it! I'm sure if I make if more it'll grow on me! Thanks:)

I sauteed the veggies as another reviewer suggested. I thought they tasted very good but they didn't hold together and they looked unappetizing.

Thanks for a good recipe.I didn't have fresh basil so used a liberal amount of dried and served the burger on wheat toast with ketchup and lettuce. I think its important to remove water properly from zucchini, onion and celery, otherwise it will fall apart. I reduced the amount of celery and used bread crumbs by approximation till it would form good burgers. And yes, I think a little bit of salt in the mixture adds to the taste.
