1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp sea salt, ½ tsp black pepper

4 tbsp mayonnaise, 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt, 1 clove garlic, grated

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.

Add the beef mince, grated onion, garlic, olive oil, and all doner seasoning ingredients to a large bowl.

Mix thoroughly until the texture becomes sticky and fully combined.

Press the mixture firmly into a small foil tray or heatproof dish.

Air fry at 190°C for 15–18 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.

Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Slice thinly into doner-style strips.

Return the sliced meat to the air fryer for 3–4 minutes at 200°C until the edges crisp slightly.

Meanwhile mix together all garlic sauce ingredients.

Warm the burger buns for 1–2 minutes.

Add a cheese slice to each bun.

Pile in the hot doner beef.

Top with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and plenty of garlic sauce.

Add chilli sauce, jalapeños, or pickled chillies if using.

Serve immediately while everything is still gloriously unstable.

Lad Tip: A proper doner burger should require a tactical approach. If you can pick it up without something falling out the back, you've been far too sensible with the filling.
