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.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to high, and then cook the burgers for 10 - 12 minutes turning halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are evenly cooked. Place naan bread under the grill for the last 2 minutes of cooking time to heat through.
Step 5
Serve the burgers with the naan bread and raita, garnished with a sprig of coriander.
