🥘 Ingredients:

• 🍲• 1 lb ground chicken or beef
• 🍲• 1 cup cooked chickpeas, mashed
• 🍲• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 🍲• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 🍲• 1 tbsp grated ginger
• 🍲• 1 tbsp garam masala
• 🍲• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 🍲• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 🍲• 1 tsp turmeric
• 🍲• 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional, for heat)
• 🍲• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 🍲• 4 burger buns
• 🍲• 1 cup yogurt, for serving
• 🍲• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken or beef, mashed chickpeas, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, green chili (if using), and breadcrumbs. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Step 2: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Make sure the patties are tightly packed to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
3. Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and once hot, add the patties. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
4. Step 4: While the patties are cooking, prepare your toppings. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
5. Step 5: Once the patties are cooked, toast the burger buns in the same skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly golden.
6. Step 6: To assemble the samosa burgers, spread a generous amount of the yogurt mixture on the bottom bun. Place a cooked patty on top of the yogurt, and then add some fresh cilantro. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Step 7: Serve the samosa burgers immediately, with any remaining yogurt mixture on the side for dipping.

💡 Pro Tips:

• 🧂• For a vegetarian version, use a plant-based meat substitute or make larger patties using only the mashed chickpeas and spices.
• 🧂• If you love chai recipes, try adding a pinch of chai spices to the patty mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
• 🧂• To make these burgers even more authentic, serve them with a side of homemade mango chutney or a simple cucumber raita.
• 🧂• These patties can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
