Indian Burger
Description
This burger recipe mixes 250 grams of ground beef with Indian spices including cumin, ground coriander, and garam masala, along with ginger and garlic paste, and fresh cilantro. Mango chutney adds a touch of sweetness to the mixture, which is seasoned with salt and black pepper. The ingredients are combined thoroughly and shaped into patties chilled for at least 30 minutes to help them hold together during cooking.
The patties are pan-fried in vegetable oil over medium heat, typically for 5-6 minutes per side for medium doneness or longer for well done. The cooked burgers are assembled in buns with fresh lettuce, sliced tomato, raita sauce, mango chutney, and caramelized onions to provide layers of texture and complementary flavors.
The patties balance savory spices with slightly sweet chutney and cooling raita, creating an Indian-inspired twist on the classic burger. They can be served as a fulfilling meal and the spice blend can be adjusted for heat preference.
Omitting buns and using lettuce leaves instead allows a low-carb variation. Careful handling when flipping and a hot pan help maintain patty integrity and develop a good crust.

- 250 g ground beef

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 250 g Beef mince, 0.5 teaspoon Cumin, 1 teaspoon Ground coriander, 1 teaspoon Garam masala, 1 tablespoon Garlic and ginger paste, 4 g Fresh coriander (cilantro) and 1 tablespoon Mango chutney. Season with 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Using your hands, mix well so that everything is combined. Form into two patties. We recommend chilling the patties for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoon Vegetable oil in a pan over a low to medium heat. Fry the burgers for 5-6 minutes each side for medium or 8-9 minutes for well done.

Notes

- Use a hot pan and flip the patties gently to prevent breaking.
- A low-carb version can be made by skipping the bun and using large lettuce leaves to hold the burger and toppings.
