Indian Spiced Chicken Burger
As much as I love burgers, I barely make it at home. I find it stressful to prep all the components. But some days it can be fun too with some helpign hands around. I make the patty and the buns, and my boys gets busy with the rest of the components.
Making the Chicken Patty for the Indian Spiced Chicken Burger
Chicken patties are tricky to prepare. I think it’s easy to go wrong and make the patty dry. It has happened with me several times in the past. Then, I figured out that adding yogurt to the patty keeps it moist and juicy. Of course, adding yogurt makes the mixture loose and it is not so easy to give it that perfect round shape. But, I care less for the shape and more for the taste. With all the warm spices like cumin and coriander, the chicken patty turned out delicious. Since the patty had all the warm flavors, I went with a simple yogurt and herb sauce for the burgers.
Other Components in the Chicken Burger

The sour yogurt really helps to balance the spices in the chicken patty Grilled Onion - I love grilled onion rings on myt burger, In-N-Out Burger style I however go for red onion instead of white. Sliced of Avocado and lettuce for the perfect crunch! We had a few things planned out for the long weekend. Cherry picking, attending my best friends’ house warming party and spending long hours by the pool. Instead, we cuddled up on the couch trying to comfort our sick baby. Avyan loves to go out but every long weekend, he happens to catch some bug and we land up staying at home. So, all we did for the past three days was movie marathons and indoor grilling. I made some Indian Spiced Chicken Burger hoping to cheer up our baby as he started to enjoy chicken a lot. But he didn’t even bother to touch it. So, we grown-ups ate it all. With the grilling season in full swing, we went in full on grilling mode. The patties, onions, avocado, all charred grilled to perfection, thanks to Arvind. So, while our long weekend was a little low, we kept the spirits high with good food.
