Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 1 medium, finely chopped Red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon, minced Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 sliced Cucumber
- 4 tablespoons Mint yogurt sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, garlic, ginger, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder (if using), salt, breadcrumbs, and the egg.
Use clean hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the patties remain tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty approximately 1 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up while cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the outside is golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the same pan or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mint yogurt sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the cooked burger patty, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and additional mint yogurt sauce if desired. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as fries or a simple salad.
