TANDOORI CHICKEN BURGERS
I came across this on the Foodnetwork.ca (.ca is the Canadian version, while fooodnetwork.com is the American version). It does call for yogurt or creamy dressing, but as some one who keeps Kosher I would most likely use soya or pareve yogurt or dressing (meaning it's not made with milk or other dairy products).
