Ingredients
Burgers:
450g ground beef
1 tbsp. garam masala
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
4 burger buns
Mint sauce:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp. fresh mint, chopped
Salt to taste
Fries:
2 large sweet potatoes, cut into sticks
1 tbsp. curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp. olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garam masala, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated. Divide beef mixture into 4 equal parts and shape into patties. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, curry powder and salt. Spread fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crisp.
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt and chopped mint. Season with salt to taste and mix well. Set aside in the fridge.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Spread a generous dollop of sauce inside each burger bun. Place a cooked beef patty and a few fresh mint leaves on top. Serve with crispy sweet potato fries and remaining sauce.
