Notes

Tips for the Best Tandoori Chicken Burgers
Avoid overmixing: Gently combine the ground chicken and seasonings to help keep the burgers tender.

Make evenly sized patties: Consistent thickness helps the chicken cook evenly.

Use fresh ginger: Freshly grated ginger adds a bright, aromatic flavor that complements the warm spices.

Adjust the heat: Reduce the cayenne pepper for a milder burger, or add a little more if you enjoy spicy food.

Prepare the yogurt sauce first: Mixing the Greek yogurt, mint, cumin, and lemon juice ahead of time allows the flavors to blend while the burgers cook.

Keep the naan warm: Heat the naan briefly just before serving so it stays soft and flexible.

Check doneness: Ground chicken must reach 165°F in the center. Do not rely on cooking time or color alone.

Serve immediately: Assemble the burgers shortly before eating to keep the naan from becoming soggy.
