Start by preparing the vegetables - scrub and dice the carrots and potatoes into smallish chunks. Peel and small dice the onion and peel and crush the garlic
Heat the butter and 1 teaspoon of oil in a saucepan or wok then saute the carrots, potato and onion for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just starting to soften and caramelise
Stir in the garlic and cook for a further minute
Add the flour and curry powder and stir to coat the veggies
Add the stock, agave and soy sauce and bubble the sauce for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the sauce thickened, smooth and velvety. Give the sauce a stir from time to time
If the sauce is too thick before the vegetables are soft, add a splash more vegetable stock or water
While the sauce is bubbling, cook the burgers - heat the other 1 teaspoon of oil in a frying pan and sizzle the burgers over a medium heat for 7-9 minutes, flipping them once halfway through
Transfer the crispy burgers to a chopping board and slice into thickish pieces. Taste the curry sauce and add salt and pepper as needed
Spoon the rice and curry sauce into warmed serving bowls and top with the chicken. Serve immediately
