Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the vegetables for the burger patties by finely dicing the red onions, red chillies, and peppers. Finely chop the garlic and dice the coriander.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1kg chicken mince with the diced onions, coriander, chillies, peppers, and chopped garlic.

3. 3

   Add the oil, 1 egg, masala, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to the chicken mixture.

4. 4

   Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, then shape the mixture into 10-12 even burger patties.

5. 5

   To make the sauce, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add a splash of water to loosen the consistency if needed.

6. 6

   Cook the chicken patties in a pan or on a grill until fully cooked through and browned on both sides.

7. 7

   While the burgers are cooking, fry one egg for each burger you plan to serve.

8. 8

   Toast the burger buns, then assemble by placing a chicken patty on each bun, topping with a fried egg, and drizzling with the yogurt sauce.

Notes

These burgers are perfect for meal prep; you can store the raw patties in the fridge and cook them throughout the week.
