Saute onion and garlic until golden and tender.
Add cumin powder and coriander powder, cook for about 10 seconds.
Add the vegetable broth, water, lentils, carrot and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium/low and allow to simmer until lentils are tender and all the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes*. Stir occasionally.
Remove lentil mixture from heat, add fresh herbs and mix till combined. Let the mixture cool down for about 10 min.
Then, add panko, beaten egg and stir until combined.
Divide the lentil mixture to form 8 patties (each patty is about 3,5 full tablespoons).**
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat, and cook the patties on each side till golden/brown.
Optional: Serve them in between burger buns with fresh vegetables and garlic/yogurt sauce or any sauce of liking.
