Take 2 spoons of curd, paste of ginger and garlic, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, and a touch of turmeric powder in a bowl.

Mix the marinade until lump-free.

Cut boneless chicken breast into strips and chop lightly into tiny bites.

Add juice of half a lemon, ensuring to remove the seeds, and season with salt.

Mix the chicken with the marinade well.

Add a knob of butter to a pan and, before it changes color, add the marinated chicken pieces.

Pan-sear the chicken on high flame, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Slice onions and capsicum while the chicken is cooking.

In the same pan, add a few drops of oil and the sliced onions and capsicum with a touch of salt.

Pan-fry the onions and capsicum until cooked and mixed well with the chicken.

Prepare charcoal for smoking while the chicken mixture is cooking.

Place the hot charcoal in a small steel bowl, add 1 tsp of oil, and cover to let the smoke infuse into the chicken mixture.

Slice the burger bun in half and spread mayonnaise on the base.

Add the pan-seared and smoked chicken on top of the mayonnaise.

Optionally, add more mayonnaise on top of the chicken.

Spread soft butter on the top half of the bun and pan-fry the assembled burger until the bun is crisp.

Serve the Tandoori Chicken Burger.
