Combine the chilli, onion, garlic and masala together in a large bowl.
Add the mince and egg, along with some seasoning and mix together well. Form balls out of the mixture and pat down into a burger shape with your hands. Cook under a grill on a high setting for 5-6 minutes on each side or in an oven at 190 degree (gas mark 5) for 20 minutes.
