Lamb Vindaloo Burger on Grilled Naan

I love caramelized onions on a burger and since it is a prominent flavor in vindaloo curry I decided to make a lamb vindaloo burger. I always do a naan bun when making Indian flavored burgers, and homemade naan is actually not that hard to make on the grill. This recipe is featured on the 7th episode of my youtube show Grilling@ which you can watch below.

You can find my naan recipe here and my curry powder recipe here.
