Seekh Kebab Burgers

Seekh Kebab Burgers

These are jumbo versions of a popular Indian dish.

They are usually shaped into little cigars and made with lamb, but you can use beef if you want.

Garam masala is a very flavorful blend of spices that can be found in many Middle Eastern or Asian grocery stores.

Seekh kebab is highly seasoned and great served with Cucumber Mint Sauce ([>]). Or try it cold with some ketchup on top.
