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
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 tablespoons Mint chutney
• 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for grilling)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into thick burger patties.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or on the grill until slightly crisp.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite side dish or enjoy on its own!
