Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and sauté onions for 4 minutes until tender and set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sautéed onions, ground chicken, salt, parsley, garlic and curry powders. Evenly divide mixture and shape into four patties. *Wet your hands if your having trouble with the mixture sticking to you.
- In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, mint, cucumber and salt to make the sauce.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a pan and cook patties for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Place burgers on buns and top with yogurt sauce and desired accompaniments.
Notes
- Use Wet Hands: To prevent the chicken mixture from sticking to your hands while shaping the patties, wet your hands with a little water before handling the mixture.
- Don’t Skip the Onion: Sautéing the onions beforehand ensures they blend seamlessly into the patties without adding extra moisture.
- Strain the Cucumber: Removing excess water from the cucumber keeps the yogurt sauce thick and creamy. If you don't want to grate the cucumber, you can also finely dice it and add it to the sauce.
- Customize the Toppings: While the yogurt sauce is a star, you can also add pickled veggies or a drizzle of tahini for extra flair.
