MALAYSIAN INDIAN CURRY-SPICED BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium and lightly grease the grates with canola oil.
• Drizzle the red pepper, jalapeno and sliced onions with olive oil, and season them with salt, pepper, to taste, and curry powder. Grill the vegetables over medium heat until they have grill marks and are softened, approximately 5 minutes. Allow them to cool, then peel off the skin of the red pepper. Finely chop the onions and pepper and set aside. Reserve the jalapeno for the aioli.
• In a small saute pan over medium heat, add the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup curry powder, the grated garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and garam masala, if using. Allow the spices to toast in the oil until fragrant and become slightly darker in color, approximately 2 to 3 minutes (If this mixture seems dry, feel free to add a little more oil to the pan.) Allow the spices to cool slightly.
• In a medium-sized bowl, use a fork or chopsticks to combine the beef, the spice mixture, the grilled red pepper, red onion, green onions, ketchup, brown sugar and soy sauce. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (Marinating overnight is even better to help the flavors marry.)
• Remove the burger mixture from the refrigerator, and divide it into 4 equal-sized quadrants. Brush the patties with olive oil, season both sides with salt and pepper, and put them the grill. Cook the patties to medium-rare or medium doneness, about 3 minutes on the first side, then 4 to 5 minutes on the second side. Make sure to rotate the patties once on each side to achieve nice crosshatch marks. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate and tent them with aluminum foil. Allow them to rest for at least 10 minutes.
• Combine the mayonnaise, mint, green onion, grilled jalapeno, garlic, curry powder, cumin, lime zest and juice in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well integrated, but there are still chunks of green onion and jalapeno remaining. Season the puree with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, toss together the fried onions with the garam masala until they are evenly dusted with the spice. Set aside.
• While the burgers rest, halve the brioche rolls, and put them, cut side down, on the grill grates. Toast until they are a light golden brown, about 10 seconds. Set aside.
• To serve, generously spread 1 tablespoon of aioli onto each side of the rolls. Press 4 to 5 slices of cucumber into the mayonnaise on the bottom of the roll. Top the cucumbers with a handful of baby lettuce, then a burger patty, and finally, approximately 1/4 cup of the fried onion mixture. Cover with the top of the buns and serve immediately with a side salad and the Grilled Sweet Potato Fries.
• Add the egg yolk, salt, dry mustard, and sugar to a large bowl. Whisk by hand or with an electric mixer until combined. Pour in the lemon juice and vinegar and whisk once more.
• While whisking continuously, very slowly drizzle in the canola oil. Keep drizzling until the mixture has emulsified and the entire cup of oil has been incorporated into the egg mixture. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

THE INDIAN HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• 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.

MASALA CHICKEN BURGER

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add ground chicken, olive oil and all the other ingredients. Using a fork or spatula, mix everything really well.
• Add about a teaspoon measure of the chicken patty mix to a bowl or a plate and microwave on high for 12-15 seconds, or until the mix cooks through. Check for taste and make adjustments accordingly.
• Using a large spoon, roughly score the ground chicken mix in the bowl into 4 portions.
• Line a baking sheet or board with individual patty sized parchment squares (see notes). Fill a bowl with tap water. Using the spoon, scoop out one portion and place it on the parchment liner. Dip the spoon in water and start shaping the patty, smoothing it into a round even-sized patty.If grilling it outdoors, gently press down the spoon in the middle, creating a small impression. This prevents the patty from puffing up in the middle. Skip this step if cooking in a skillet or oven.
• Continue the same process with the remaining patties. Once ready, stack them together using a parchment liner to separate them. At this point, you can freeze any excess patties in a large ziplock bag. For cooking, use one of the following methods:
• Heat a wide non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Wait for it to get hot, about 2-3 minutes, then add about a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken patties about 1 inch apart. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook another 5 minutes, or until cooked though. If using a meat thermometer, the center of the patty should record a temperature of 165°F or higher. Remove and keep aside.
• Heat a grill on medium-high heat (or 375°F). Place a large piece of aluminum foil and grease it with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Place the chicken patties on the greased foil. The foil ensures even cooking of the chicken patty and prevents is from burning. Cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side, flip and cook another 6-7 minutes, or until it cooks through.
• Place the patties on a lightly greased aluminum lined baking sheet. Arrange the top rack so there is a 3-inch clearance from the broiler plates. Place the sheet on the top shelf and broil for 8 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook another 2-3 minutes on the second side.
• Grease the fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil. Place 2 patties at a time. Slide the basket back in position and cook on 360°F for 8 minutes. Remove the basket, flip the burger patties and put it back in for another 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken cooks through.
• Peel and cut a large onion into 1/4 inch slices. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion rings and sprinkle a pinch of salt. This helps them caramelize faster. Flip onion rings after a minute and cook for another minute on the other side. The same process can be followed on the grill or airfryer. Remove the grilled onions and keep aside for later.
• Spread some butter or olive oil on your burger buns and lightly toast them in a skillet, air fryer or grill. Spread a generous layer of sriracha mayo, or your preferred condiment, on the top and bottom bun. Layer in the following order to preserve maximum crispness of ingredients - lettuce, burger patty, grilled onions, tomato slices and finally the top bun. Enjoy!
