The Indian Hamburgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/4 cup minced scallion top
1/2 cup firmly packed ginely chopped cilantro leaf, soft stems included

Preparation

In large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Shape into 6-10 patties, each about 4\" in diameter.
The patties will shrink as they cook.
Put the patties on a grill over hot coals and cook to the desired level of doneness, 10-15 minutes.
Turn once or twice and press the patties with a spatula to ensure that the insides get properly cooked.
The patties can be pan-fired by placing them in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet or on a stove top griddle, and cooking them over moderately high heat until they become golden to golden brown on both sides and are cooked through as you like them.
