Spiced Lamb Patty Burger
A ground lamb patty seasoned with cumin, coriander, garam masala and ginger-garlic paste, pan-seared until deeply browned and cooked through. Served in a toasted bun with cooling mint-yogurt sauce, tomato, cucumber and red onion. The spicing marks it as Indian-inflected rather than a standard burger.

Instructions
1
Prep
Combine ground lamb, cumin, coriander, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, cayenne, salt and 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint in a bowl, mixing by hand until evenly distributed.
2
Rest
Shape mixture into one patty slightly wider than the bun and chill for 10 minutes.
3
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patty 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
4
Finish
While patty chills, stir yogurt, 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint and finely diced cucumber together to make the sauce.
5
Toast
Place bun halves cut-side down in the same skillet over medium heat for 30–60 seconds until golden and lightly crisp.
6
Plate
Spread mint-yogurt sauce on both bun halves, layer tomato, cucumber and sliced red onion, set patty on top, close burger and plate whole or halved on the diagonal.
