Tandoori Chicken Burgers

Grilling or barbequing at home was a concept alien to me till I came here to the US. When we bought our own home and moved in here 6 years ago, our very close friends gifted us with a grill as a housewarming gift.

At first, all we grilled was corn, skewered vegetables and store bought burgers. It was still a lot of fun and a lot of it was delicious too. But as years went by, I started experimenting with recipes for the grill. I would still leave the actual grilling to the husband, as it is one time, I don’t have to stand by the stove and cook. I can sit by the side and enjoy my chilled beer or glass of wine. You know what I mean, right!

We started grilling chicken, prawns, made several different types of burgers from scratch, pizzas, naan pizzas and even dessert! Summer time, suddenly, opened up a whole new avenue for creativity.

And plus, the kiddo loves it when we stay outside and grill. That way he gets to play out and get to do things and sometimes even “help” us with the grilling.

These Tandoori Chicken burgers is a favorite in our household. I buy pre-ground organic chicken from our local store here and marinate it with the tandoori spices for 20-30 minutes. It doesn’t need to sit for any longer than that as it is not a piece of chicken or meat for the flavors to really get absorbed.

Then we grill it and our favorite bread and top the burgers with a quick yogurt sauce made fresh then and there. Some fresh veggies for a crunch and your delicious Tandoori Chicken Burger is good to go!
