  • 800g lamb mince

Mix yoghurt, mint, coriander, and lime peel in small bowl. Season to taste with coarse salt and pepper. Cover; chill until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt. Sauté until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Mix in curry powder and stir 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Cool onion mixture to room temperature, at least 15 minutes.

Place lamb in large bowl. Add onion mixture, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, coriander, and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper. Blend mixture gently; shape into six 1/2-inch-thick patties.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine courgette, spring onions, and chilli in another large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoons cracked pepper; toss to coat. Place vegetables and burgers on grill. Cook until grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Turn vegetables and burgers over. Cook vegetables until tender, about 3 minutes. Cook burgers to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium-rare. Cut courgette and spring onions crosswise into 2-inch-long pieces. Cut chilli into thin strips.

Place breads on plates; top with burgers and tomato slices. Mound vegetables on burgers; spoon dollop of raita over. Fold bread up around burgers and serve with remaining raita.
