Karen Martini Tandoori Chicken Burgers
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground chicken
– 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 2 tbsp tandoori paste
– 1 tsp ground cumin
– 1 tsp ground coriander
– 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
– 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 burger buns
– Lettuce leaves
– Sliced tomatoes
– Sliced red onion
– Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
– Mango chutney (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, Greek yogurt, tandoori paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the chicken mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Once the grill is ready, place the chicken patties on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have beautiful grill marks. Make sure the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill until they are warm and slightly golden. This will give your burgers a delightful crunch.
5. To assemble the burgers, start by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a cooked chicken patty, sliced tomatoes, and red onion. Add a few mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness if desired.
6. Finally, slather the top bun with mango chutney for a sweet and tangy contrast to the spicy tandoori flavors of the chicken. Place the bun on top of the burger, and your Karen Martini Tandoori Chicken Burgers are ready to be enjoyed!
