I LOVE Indian food, and since yesterday was Burger Day, I decided to make an Indian burger.
My burger was incredibly juicy and flavorful. I made it with spiced ground beef patties and topped with tomato, onion, and super tasty spiced sauce.
Indian Burger
I believe this Indian Burger is an interesting combination of American-style burgers and Indian spices. These spices add a twist to a classic burger and give it a bold flavor.
If you are a fan of Indian food, I highly recommend trying this burger recipe; it is super delicious, flavorful, and so popular in Indian restaurants.
I like this recipe because It is so convenient. Both the patties and the mayo sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until it is time to cook and serve.
Also, the recipe is SO simple and easy to prepare, and the ingredients are mixed in one bowl. I usually serve it for lunch or as part of regular family dinners.
You'll Need
Complete information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Ground beef: I use 80% lean ground beef to make the patties. Avoid using extra lean meat for this recipe because fat helps the burgers to be juicy, and it also enhances the flavor.
Garlic: It enhances the flavor of the burger. Use fresh garlic or store-bought garlic paste.
Cilantro: It adds freshness to the burger.
Red chilies: It makes the burger chilly and gives it a tangy taste. Add more of this ingredient if you want an extra spicy burger. You may replace it with red chili powder or green chilies.
Bread crumbs: It helps to bind the burgers together and allows them to stay intact while frying.
Seasonings: I seasoned the ground beef with ground coriander, cumin, Garam masala and salt.
Lemon juice: It enhances the flavor of the burger and adds to its freshness.
Vegetable Oil: It is used to cook the patty. A sufficient amount of oil is required to ensure that the burgers cook evenly. You can use olive oil instead.
Burger buns: The burger buns can be homemade or store-bought.
Tomatoes: They add freshness and juiciness to the burger. Tomatoes also add colour and enhance visual appeal.
Red Onion: They are used to top the burger.
For the mayo curry sauce, I use Mayonnaise and mild curry powder.
How To Make An Indian Burger Recipe?
One: Make the curry mayo: Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
Two: In a large bowl, mix together cilantro, breadcrumbs, ground beef, garlic, chilies, ginger, lime juice, and all the seasonings until combined.
Tip: Ensure that the ingredients used for the patties mix well so that the taste is consistent throughout the burgers.
Three: Divide the mixture into 4 large balls and form them into patties.
Tip: If your burger patties are too soft or from falling apart, refrigerate for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Four: Heat the vegetables oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the patties in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side.
Tip: Ensure that the oil is hot before adding the burgers to the pan to enable them to cook evenly.
Five: Slice the buns open, place a cooked patty on each bun and, add onion slices, tomato slices, and top with a tablespoon of the curry mayo, then serve right away.
Top Tips!
- To achieve a juice burger, avoid pressing down the patty.
- The patties are ready to flip when they release from the pan without sticking.
- Instead of bread crumbs, you can use either all-purpose flour, corn starch, rice flour, quinoa flour or almond flour.
- Freezing Tip: Uncooked burgers can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can freeze the patties but not the buns. Place a slice of baking parchment paper between burgers before freezing and put in a freezer bag.
