Spicy Kofta Burgers are an easy and flavorful way to change up your burger game. These burgers are inspired by kofta, a type of Middle Eastern meatball that is often spiced with curry and fresh herbs. In this recipe, we're using ground beef to form burger patties that are packed with flavor thanks to curry paste and mint. Serve these burgers on buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and sliced onion for a new take on a classic dish.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together onion, garlic, ground beef, curry paste, mint, and salt and pepper to taste until well combined.
2.	Form the mixture into 4-6 burger patties.
3.	Grill or pan-fry the burgers over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes per side or until cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
4.	Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings.

CONS

These burgers can be a bit spicy for some palates, so adjust the amount of curry paste to your liking.
