Method

Step 1

Place the minced chicken, breadcrumbs, onion, tikka paste, egg and chopped coriander into a bowl and mix well. Cover and place in the fridge. (Remember to wash working surfaces, cutting boards, utensils and hands after touching raw poultry)

Step 2

To make the raita, put the grated cucumber, lemon juice, Greek yoghurt and mint together in a bowl and stir to combine. Season to taste, cover and place in the fridge.

Step 3

When you are ready to cook the burgers, take the chicken mixture out of the fridge and divide it into 8 portions. Mould each portion into a burger with your hands.
