Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt.
Step 2
Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight for better flavor).
Step 3
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and brush it with vegetable oil.
Step 4
Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove and set aside to rest.
Step 5
To make the yogurt sauce, blend the mayonnaise, fresh coriander leaves, green chili, cumin powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Step 6
Toast the burger buns lightly on the same grill pan until golden brown.
Step 7
Assemble the burger by spreading the yogurt sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with a piece of lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, and 2 slices of onion.
Step 8
Place a grilled chicken thigh on top of the vegetables, and add more sauce if desired. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Step 9
Repeat the process for the remaining burgers. Serve immediately and enjoy!
