Tandoori Chicken Burgers

Tandoori Chicken Burgers

I have seen a lot of tandoori recipes around lately in food magazines and blogs. This is my favourite version: a tandoori chicken burger served on a naan with a mint yogurt sauce and topped with cucumber, cilantro, and red onion. Easy to make, super fast, and pretty darn tasty!

I have to admit that I was a bit surprised at the reaction at my dinner table when I presented this to my husband. I did not think that he would be into tandoori chicken. So wrong I was. He loved it. If he likes it, anyone will love it. He can be hard to impress sometimes.
