Preparation

Step 1

1. Fries: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. Combine the salt and spices in a small bowl.

3. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/4th inch thick pieces. Rub the olive oil and the spice mix directly on to the potatoes, lay them on a single layer on the baking sheet. Cook in the oven for about 40-45 min, until the fries are tender and crispy.

4. For the Yoghurt Dipping Sauce: If you have home made yoghurt and it is made with low fat milk, drain it for a couple of hours in a cheesecloth so all the water comes out and you have thick yogurt. If you use store bought yoghurt or use yoghurt made with whole milk, you can skip this step.

5. To make the sauce, for 1 cup of yoghurt, add some chili powder to taste and about 1/2 tsp of crushed dried mint and mix well.

6. Burgers: Mix all of the ingredients, except the olive oil together and form into patties (depending on the size of the buns). I used the normal size buns and I could get 3 patties out of the mixture.

7. Brush the patties with some olive oil, put the rest on the pan and fry on each side for about 6 min or so until well cooked.

8. If using cheese, put cheese directly on top of the skillet during the last 30 seconds or so. At the same time, also put the buns, tops down so they warm up.

9. Assemble the burger with lettuce and tomatoes. Serve with fries and the yoghurt dipping sauce.
