tandoori chicken burgers
INGREDIENTS
1/4 Cup Yogurt, Plain
2 Tablespoon mayonnaise
2 Tablespoon Cucumber, Finely Diced
2 Teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 Teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1/8 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 Pound Chicken, ground
1/4 Cup Yogurt, Plain
1 Scallions, minced
1 Tablespoon minced cilantro leaves
2 Teaspoon ginger, minced
1 Teaspoon Garam Masala
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
PREPARATION
Steps
1
Make the sauce: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, cucumber, lemon juice, cumin, salt and cayenne in a small mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
2
Line a rimless baking sheet with cooking parchment or oiled foil.
3
Make the burgers: Put the chicken in a medium mixing bowl. Add the yogurt, scallion, cilantro, ginger, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Mix lightly but thoroughly with hands -- the mixture will be rather wet and loose.
4
Wet your hands with cold water and form four equal-sized patties directly on the cooking parchment or foil. (If not cooking right away, cover and refrigerate.)
5
When ready to cook, start the Z Grill grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
6
Carefully slide or lift the parchment paper with the burgers onto the grill grate. (The meat will not come in direct contact with the grill grate.) Smoke for 30 minutes.
7
Increase the temperature to 325F and cook the burgers until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes more.
8
Remove the burgers from the parchment paper and serve with pita breads, lettuce, onions, tomato, and the sauce. Enjoy!
