Homemade Curry-Spiced Burgers

The eagerness of making my own burgers has been too long and I can't wait anymore.  If you prefer something different from those you always had outside, try this recipe of mine.  As an Asian, I always like to add on with some Asian taste in my food, same goes to this burger patties recipe.  

As I love spices so much, I used curry powder to mix together with my minced meat and I had added on with some chopped fresh coriander to enhance the fragrant of the mixtures of the meat.  You won't believe the fragrant of the patties were so good when I pan-fried them.  To neutralize the hotness of the burgers I served them together with all my time favorite salads - coleslaws. Perfect!

This is a very easy to make homemade burgers, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Enjoy!
