    What is a Chicken Kebab Burger?

    Traditionally, Chicken Kebab is considered middle-eastern cuisine, however kebabs became popular in India after the Mughal Empire rulership. Kebabs are prepared with ground meat, veggies, and loads of spices that attribute to their great flavor. They are formed into a long or circular shape, and then baked or grilled.

    What other meat can I use instead of ground chicken?

    For this recipe I used organic ground chicken, instead, you may use ground turkey or lamb. Follow the exact recipe as mentioned below.

    Can I make these Kebabs Vegetarian?

    Sure. Although I haven't tested the vegetarian recipe yet, you can easily use paneer, potatoes, or lentils (or a combo) for delicious vegetarian kebabs.

    Prepare the Cilantro Sour Cream Chutney

    1. In a coffee grinder, add the ingredients for the cilantro chutney.
    2. Grind. This is what you should have.
    3. In a separate bowl, mix the cilantro chutney with a couple dollops of sour cream. Refrigerate.

    Prepare the Veggies

    1. You'll need fresh baby spinach (or butter lettuce works), sliced onions, and sliced tomatoes.

    Make the Kebab Patties

    1. Heat up a Le Creuset cast iron grill pan (Lodge cast iron grill pan works too) on medium heat. Once hot, brush the grill pan with avocado oil.
    2. Split the chicken mixture into 6 parts.
    3. Form a patty in a circular shape.

    4. Place the patties on the hot grill pan. Brush the top with oil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
    5. Flip. Look at that char. Cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes on the other side.
    6. Patties are cooked. Continue to cook the remaining of the patties, or store in the refrigerator. Turn off the stove.

    Assemble Chicken Kebab Burger

    1. Toast whole wheat buns in a toaster oven. You can use white buns or even gluten-free buns.
    2. Top with fresh spinach leaves (butter lettuce works too).
    3. Now place the patty on top of each burger.
    4. Top with a generous amount of cilantro sour cream chutney and red onion slices.
    5. Finally, top with tomato slices. A squeeze of lemon juice if you wish. You can spread some more sour cream chutney on the other half of the bun.

    Enjoy HOT!

        this was a great recipe, spices and flavors are excellent and it was easy to make. i will be adding it to my regular meal rotation. i ended up adding in 1/8 cup breadcrumbs which helped the patty stick together even better. thanks for the recipe, nisha!
