Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon tandoori masala powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mint chutney
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces sliced cucumber
- 8 pieces sliced red onion
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala powder, cumin powder, paprika, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick. Set aside on a plate.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, cook the chicken patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Ensure the internal temperature of the patties reaches 74°C (165°F).
While the patties cook, mix mayonnaise and mint chutney in a small bowl. Set aside the creamy chutney.
Butter the burger buns and toast them on a skillet or grill pan until golden brown and lightly crisp.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of the creamy chutney on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by a chicken patty, 2 slices of cucumber, and 2 slices of red onion. Optionally, spread more creamy chutney on the top bun and close the burger.
Repeat the assembly process for all 4 burgers.
Serve the Tandoori Chicken Burgers warm with a side of your favorite chips or salad.
