Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 unit English cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 units Burger buns, toasted
• 4 units Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, garam masala, smoked paprika, red chili powder, salt, and chopped cilantro.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined and form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the chicken patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the minty cucumbers. In a small bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns on the grill or a skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing lettuce leaves on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place the tandoori chicken patties on top, followed by a generous helping of the minty cucumber mixture. Top with the other half of the buns.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Tandoori Chicken Burgers with Minty Cucumbers!
