Place patties on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning once, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes.
Coriander Yogurt:
Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir yogurt with coriander.
Cut buns in half; place, cut sides down, on grill and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread coriander yogurt over cut sides. Place burgers on bottoms; sandwich with tops.
