Prepare the Kebab Mixture
Chop the red onions, green chilies, garlic, ginger, and fresh cilantro.
In a bowl, add ground chicken followed by the onion, chilies, ginger, garlic, and fresh cilantro.
Now add all the spices under Ingredients - Spices.
Mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes or longer.
Prepare the Cilantro Sour Cream Chutney
In a coffee grinder, add the ingredients for the cilantro chutney.
Grind. This is what you should have.
In a separate bowl, mix the cilantro chutney with a couple dollops of sour cream. Refrigerate.
Make the Kebab Patties
Heat up a Le Creuset cast iron grill pan on medium heat. Once hot, brush the grill pan with avocado oil.
Split the chicken mixture into 6 parts.
Form a patty in a circular shape.
Place the patties on the hot grill pan. Brush the top with oil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
Flip. Look at that char. Cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Patties are cooked. Continue to cook the remaining of the patties, or store in the refrigerator. Turn off the stove.
Assemble Chicken Kebab Burger
Toast whole wheat buns in a toaster oven. You can use white buns or even gluten-free buns.
Top with fresh spinach leaves (butter lettuce works too).
Now place the patty on top of each burger.
Top with a generous amount of cilantro sour cream chutney and red onion slices.
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.
