“Thanks for this recipe. Was craving those cumin lamb burgers I used to have @ XFF (when I lived in NYC), but cut out meat two years ago. Instead of lamb, I used Impossible Burger ground. Also added some Chinese chives into the yogurt spread. It came out ” — a cook, 5.0★
“This looks fantastic! I have found memories of eating Xi’an lamb when visiting Xianyang. Now I can revisit that flavor on a bun. Thanks for another great idea in cooking..” — a cook, 5.0★
