1. In small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until well blended. Refrigerate until serving time.
2. In large bowl, mix all burger ingredients until well blended but DO NO overwork. Shape mixture into 6 patties.
3. Spray 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Cook patties in skillet 5 minutes; turn. Cook 3 to 5 minutes longer or until no longer pink in center. Serve with sauce.
DO-AHEAD:
Mix and shape the meat patties the night before, and make the sauce, too. It’ll be smooth sailing at dinnertime.
VARIATION:
Stir some chopped cucumber into the sauce. The result is very similar to raita, a refreshing dish from northern India that’s often served as a relish with curried foods.
