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).

  • Add plenty of flavor to the chicken burgers with a variety of spices, including garam masala, cumin, coriander, and chili powder. You can also add fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, for extra flavor.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken burgers for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the chicken and allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the chicken burgers over medium heat until they are cooked through. This will help to prevent the burgers from becoming dry or overcooked.
  • Serve the chicken burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
