- 3 tablespoons prepared tikka masala sauce such as Maya Kaimal brand

- Form into patties. Brush a non-stick pan with olive oil. Heat pan over medium until hot. Place patties on hot pan and fry over med-hot heat 4-6 minutes without moving the burgers. Bottoms should have a dark, golden crust. Flip and cook another 4-6 minutes. (cook times can vary depending on size and thickness of burger) Continue frying until thermometer reads 165 and remove immediately from heat.
- Serve with sesame buns, lettuce, cheese, spicy ketchup (such as Maya Kaimal brand) and sauteed curry onions-(recipe following)
- Make onions by halving a sweet onion and slice in thick half-moon pieces. Melt 1-2 T butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sautee 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat, sprinkle with 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder and sautee slow until onions are soft and slightly caramelized. Can make these ahead and reheat just before topping your burgers.
