Ingredients

500 gram lamb mince

1/2 cup (35g) fresh breadcrumbs

1/4 cup (75g) rogan josh curry paste

1 egg, beaten

1/3 cup (95g) plain yogurt

1 bunch mint, leaves picked (about 1 cup)

4 flat hamburger rolls, split

4 iceberg lettuce leaves

2 tomatoes, sliced

Method

1.Combine mince, breadcrumbs, curry paste and egg in a bowl, mixing well. Shape into 4 patties, about 1.5cm thick.

2.Preheat a barbecue plate or chargrill to medium. Place yogurt and mint in a food processor and process until mint is finely chopped. Season to taste and transfer to a bowl.

3.Brush barbecue plate or chargrill with a little oil and cook patties for 3-4 minutes each side, until cooked through (see tip). Toast hamburger rolls each side, until golden brown.

4.Top roll bases with a lettuce leaf, a patty and sliced tomato. Drizzle with mint yogurt and serve immediately.

Chill patties for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Ensure that patties are not pink in centre, as uncooked mince may contain bacteria.
