Indian lamb burgers are super easy to make with curry powder and chopped corainder and will take your BBQ to the next level. Our quick and simple spiced burger recipe combines warm Indian spices and a cooling mint raita, for a bite that is bursting with flavour. These Indian lamb burgers are spiced but not too spicy, so they can be enjoyed by everyone. Using tasty lamb instead of beef mince complements the Indian flavours and makes a change from standard burgers. These Indian lamb burgers can be enjoyed on their own, with the raita and a salad, in a regular burger bun, or why not try with a naan or flatbread? If you know you're going to be short of time on the day you want to serve these, you can make the patties ahead of time. In fact, we think they cook better when they've been left to chill in the fridge, as it helps them keep their shape when you pop them in a hot pan. Leave them for up to 2 days ahead in the fridge, or for even better forward planning make up the mixture and freeze it in burger shapes. Just remember to defrost thoroughly in the fridge before cooking.
