Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and shape into burger patties. Set aside.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes per side until tender and lightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Grill the lamb patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked to an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F). Remove from the grill and let the patties rest for a few minutes.
To prepare the mint raita, combine the plain yogurt, chopped mint leaves, grated cucumber, ground coriander, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Place a grilled lamb patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun, followed by a generous spoonful of mint raita, grilled vegetables, and then the top half of the bun.
Serve the curried lamb burgers hot with additional grilled vegetables and mint raita on the side if desired.
