This made a very flavorful dinner! Adapted from More magazine, February 2009. The recipe originally called for cooking in a pan on the stove, but we tried them on the grill and they worked great (and the kitchen didn’t smell!).
Prep time: 10 minutes; Cooking time: 24 minutes; Start to finish: 30 minutes +/-
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chicken
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Vegetable oil for brushing
- Hamburger buns
Serve with raita (below) and mango chutney (purchased)
Directions
- Preheat the grill. Combine the chicken, garlic, eggs, garam masala, curry powder, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl, mixing well. Shape the mixture into 8 patties.
- Brush the patties with vegetable oil and grill 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve on toasted hamburger buns with raita and mango chutney. Cucumber and tomato slices are good with the burgers, too.
- To make the raita, dice 1 cucumber, place in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let drain in the sink for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine 2 cups of yogurt, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint and 1 cup seeded and diced tomato.
- Mix in the cucumber, and season with salt and pepper.
Makes 8 burgers
