Tandoori Chicken Burgers with Raita
Adapted from Chatelaine Magazine
Raita:
1 cup low fat plain yogurt
2 baby cucumbers, quartered & then sliced thin
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 green onions sliced thin
1/8 tsp salt
Burgers:
500g or 1 lb ground chicken breast
3 Tblsp low fat plain yogurt
1/4 cup panko crumbs
1/3 pack Chatty's Tandoori BBQ Spice Mix
Raita - Mix yogurt, sliced cucumber, cilantro, onions and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Burgers - Heat bbq grille to medium. Mix chicken, yogurt, panko and spice. Form into 4 patties. Spray grill with non-stick spray. Grill chicken burgers 5 minutes on each side or until done.
Serve atop Naan bread and topped with a dollop of Raita.
Recipe Notes: I only made 1/2 a recipe of Raita b/c I wasn't sure anyone would eat it but me (Dewey hates cucumbers). We both ate it but we still had lots. The last burger might be light on raita though. The original recipe called for Tandori paste which I couldn't find. This recipe makes burgers that have a tandoori taste but are not spicy at all. I might add a little more spice next time. I made a burger with all ingredients except the spice for Evan. He ate it with bbq sauce dip & liked it.
