Sauté Scallions and mushrooms in oil until limp, about 5 minutes.
In a blender, combine garlic, chckpeas and chickpea liquid, blend until smooth.
Transfer to a large bowl and combine with mushroom mixture.
Grind sunflower seeds in a blender or food processor to make a coarse meal, add to chickpea mixture along with curry powder.
Mix well. Stir in egg whites or bread crumbs (¼ cup dry bread crumbs can be used instead of egg whites).
On a large baking sheet or bread-board, make 8 to 10 beds of sesame seeds for patties.
Shape burger mixture into 8 patties and place on seeds.
Flip to coat both sides generously.
Grill on a well-oiled vegetable grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until brown.
