In a small bowl, mix up the mayo & yogurt. Mince the garlic clove
using your microplane and add the mint leaves to the yogurt. Add
lemon juice, salt & pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Using your coffee grinder coarsely grind black pepper, fennel, cloves,
cumin, and cardamom. Set aside in the grinder itself. In a bowl, add
the lamb mince. Add the garlic, ginger, mint, cilantro & green
chiles. Add the ground spices over it along with nutmeg, cinnamon &
olive oil. Using a fork (or your hands), lightly mix up the mince
with all the herbs and spices. If you have time, you can cover the
bowl with a cling film & let it sit in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours or
else you can use it right away.

Heat up a cast iron pan. Divide the lamb mince into six equal
portions. (We do not like very thick patties, so I could make 6 out
of these, however if making thicker patties, divide into desired
portions). Brush 1 ts oil on the pan and cook the patties on
moderately high heat until well-browned on the bottom, about 4
minutes. Flip the patties and cook on the other side, about 3 to 4
minutes more. When cooked, add the cheese on top and cover with a
lid, the cheese should melt in under a minute. Note: We like our
burgers cooked through and the times are noted for that. If you like
your burgers pink in bewteen, please reduce the cooking time. These
burgers grill beautifully, you can use your outdoor grill to good use
for cooking these.

While the patties are cooking, you will see the mince releasing a lot
of fat and juice, soak it up by warming up the bun halves on the same
pan.

Assemble the burgers by slathering the yogurt mayo on both sides of
the buns, add in the onion & tomato slices, lettuce and place the
cooked patties.

Serve immediately along side chips.
