I got a note from my best friend Meghna that read:
"Inspired - I'm making Indian style mince lamb patties and sticking them in a bun with tomatoes, onions, feta, olives, green chutney etc. then just to enjoy them for what they are, I shall eat the lamb burgers on their ownsome. (Indian style= onions chillies papa's magic masala, mint cilantro etc. see its going to be overload night)."
The pictures she sent me later don't need any explanation to her process. Looks truly delectable. Megs I wish I could come over for dinner.
Enjoy- its a visual treat and honestly very easy to follow and make. YUM!
