Mix the meat and the dry ingredients, then mix in the wet ones. Let the mixture sit for one hour. Make nice, fat patties, making a small depression in the middle of each with your thumb (this help keep them from puffing up).
On medium high heat, add the patties in and sear them for about 1 minute. Turn the heat down to medium, and fry for 4 minutes without disturbing. Turn the heat back up to medium high in the last 30 seconds, then flip the burgers. Sear for 1 minute, lower the heat, and cook 3 minutes, or until done.
Source: I don't remember where it was published, but I read an article with Ernest Hemingway's (then) wife (I don't remember which one). She said that this was one of his favorite recipes. I tried it, and I love it too. I don't even use any condiments on my burger, though sauteed mushrooms are really good with it.

You'll be getting my vote for being the most different hamburger I've ever seen. Your recipe sounds wonderful and a bit on the exotic side which I'll enjoy savoring.
Thank you Barb. You come up with some of the very best always.

These hamburgers sound great, and a long way from our regular old hamburger. I haven't seen "india relish" anywhere for a long time, but will look for it. I remember the flavor. I also like almost anything with capers in it, and don't see too many recipes listing them.
Thanks for a nice new recipe. You'll get my vote.
