Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken or lamb
- 1 medium, finely chopped Red onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon, minced Ginger
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh cilantro
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 8 Tomato slices
- 4 tablespoons Mint chutney
- 4 tablespoons Yogurt-based raita or mayo
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or lamb, chopped red onion, garlic, ginger, green chili, garam masala, turmeric, ground cumin, red chili powder, fresh cilantro, breadcrumbs, egg, and salt. Mix thoroughly with clean hands or a spoon until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round patty, about 1-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for chicken or 160°F (71°C) for lamb.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or on the grill for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mint chutney on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a cooked patty, 2 slices of tomato, and 1 tablespoon of yogurt-based raita or mayo. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as sweet potato fries or a fresh salad. Enjoy your Spicy Indian Burger 2!
