Treat your ingredients with care...

• Ground beef — Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option. Make sure to cook the patties thoroughly to ensure food safety.
• Sindhi-style pickles — If you can't find Sindhi-style pickles, you can substitute with any tangy pickle of your choice.
• Spicy Sindhi chutney — Adjust the spiciness of the chutney according to your preference by adding more or less chili powder.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra flavor, marinate the ground beef mixture with the spices for 30 minutes before shaping into patties.
• Add a slice of cheese on top of the patty while it's still hot to let it melt slightly.
• Customize your burger by adding lettuce, tomato slices, or any other toppings of your choice.
• If you prefer a spicier burger, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef mixture.
• Serve the burger with a side of crispy Sindhi-style papadums for an authentic Sindhi experience.
