ground chicken

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

tandoori masala

🥗Healthier: homemade spice blend

💰Cheaper: curry powder

Homemade blends can reduce sodium and cost.

Toast cardamom, coriander seeds, methi, jeera, and black peppercorns over medium flame until they pop and release aroma.

Strain and grind the toasted spices into powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.

Combine the ground spices with paprika and cayenne pepper.

Mix minced chicken with salt, garlic, shado Beni, and the spice mixture.

Combine well and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour (marinating is not mandatory).

Oil your hands and form the chicken mixture into patties, making them as big and thick as desired.

Use a cast iron skillet or griddle to cook the patties over medium to low heat for about 10 minutes, checking for doneness by looking at the sides of the meat.

Assemble the burger using a homemade bun or bread from a bakery, adding a layer of curry mustard, lettuce, a patty, more curry mustard, and pickled red onions.
