• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
2. Divide the lamb mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
4. While the lamb burgers are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
