Burgers are a beloved staple, but this Indian-inspired twist will elevate your taste buds to new heights. Infused with garam masala, fresh herbs, and chillies, the lamb patty delivers warmth and depth of flavour. Served on a soft bun with cooling yoghurt raita, crunchy red onions, and fresh coriander, it’s a fusion dish that’s both comforting and exciting. Ideal for spice lovers and a great way to introduce new flavours to the burger-loving crowd.

Make the patties:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince with the onion, garlic, ginger, green chilli, spices, salt, pepper, and fresh coriander. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until everything is well incorporated. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

Prepare the raita:
Squeeze the excess moisture from the grated cucumber and mix with the yoghurt. Season with a pinch of salt and a few coriander leaves. Chill until needed.

Cook the burgers:
Heat a griddle pan or BBQ on medium-high heat. Brush the patties with oil and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred.

Toast the buns:
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a dry frying pan.

Assemble:
Spread a spoonful of cucumber raita on the base of each bun. Add lettuce (if using), a lamb patty, sliced onions, a drizzle of mango chutney (if using), and finish with a few coriander leaves. Top with the bun lid and serve hot.
