Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 120 grams Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Tandoori masala powder
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Egg
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 4 Burger buns
- 1 small Onion, sliced
- 0.5 Cucumber, sliced

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, 60 grams of plain yogurt, tandoori masala powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, ground cumin, chili powder, cilantro, egg, and breadcrumbs.
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into thick burger patties.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and grease with butter or oil. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or on the grill until slightly crisp.
Prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the remaining 60 grams of plain yogurt with 2 tablespoons of mint chutney. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the yogurt-mint sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the cooked chicken patty, slices of onion and cucumber, and finally the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish or enjoy on its own!
