Chicken Tandoori Burger
Serves: 4 burgers
 
Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts, chopped up finely (if using a food processor don’t let it turn to paste)
  • 1-2 cm ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp cayenne (depending on your heat levels)
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • ½ tbsp lemon juice
  • Mango Raita:
  • 3 tbsp mango chutney
  • 100ml natural yoghurt (Skip the raita if you need dairy-free)
  • 4 naan (These are not gluten-free but the burgers are fine)
  • Sliced cucumber, red onion, lettuce, tomato and a bunch of coriander
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C.
  2. Place the chopped up chicken in a bowl and mix in with all the other ingredients.
  3. Divide the mixture into 8 balls and flatten in your hand to make thin disc like burgers about 2 cm thick. Place on a plate and leave to chill and firm up for 30 minutes in the fridge or if not in a rush you can leave for up to 24 hours and allow the flavours to develop more.
  4. Lightly oil a baking tray and place into the oven a minute before you are ready so it can heat up slightly. Cook your burgers for 5-6 minutes each side, turning in between (they should take on a bit of colour).
  5. Meanwhile get on with making your yoghurt dressing. Just mix the chutney and yoghurt together in a bowl. Pop your naan into the oven to heat through for a few minutes (it will soften a lot and be much easier to bend).
  6. When ready to assemble place your chicken burger on top of one half of the naan, dollop on lots of mango raita and pile with sliced cucumber, red onion and tomatoes before folding the naan over to create a bun.
  7. Serve with a crunchy bean and mange tout salad topped with sesame oil and seeds.
Notes
Freezing: You can easily freeze these in advance so you can have them to hand for any occasion. Place your shaped raw burgers onto a tray lined with silicone, lay another sheet of silicone on top and wrap with cling film. Allow to freeze before placing into a labeled zip lock bag.

The raw patties will sit happily in your fridge for up to 24 hours. You can take out and cook straight from fridge.

The mango raita can be fully prepared and left in you fridge for a day or two just give it a little stir before serving.
