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.

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.

    Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

    Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove
