Indian-Spiced Pork Burgers
These flavor-packed burgers are a spin on a chouriço-like spiced pork sausage from Goa in southern India. They're especially delicious topped with yogurt, torn fresh mint leaves and thin slices of cucumber or tomato.

GET DIGITAL & PRINTWe thought this was great—flavor packed and good texture. Based on the prior comment about mushiness, drained the yogurt beforehand to reduce moisture, and used 1/2 cup of panko. Topped with more drained yogurt, sliced cucumbers, and some purchased mint chutney. With the killer cucumber and chickpea chaat recipe (https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/chickpea-cucumber-salad-cookish) on the side, this was a standout recent dinner.
We made this last night for dinner and it was okay. It came together quick and had a lot of flavor, but the texture was too soft, almost mushy. We prefer more bite in a burger, so if we make it again would probably cut the panko & yogurt by half.
