Spicy Naan Burger

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (or lamb), breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined.

2.Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

3.Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.

4.While the patties are resting, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and cumin in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.

5.To assemble the burgers, warm the naan bread on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 1 minute on each side until soft and pliable.

6.Place a patty on the bottom half of each naan. Top with a generous dollop of yogurt sauce, followed by shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and cucumber. Finish with the top half of the naan bread.

7.Serve immediately with extra yogurt sauce on the side.
