Tandoori burgers

A tandoori burger is a fusion dish that combines elements of traditional Indian flavors with classic burger components. The burger typically features a patty made from minced chicken, lamb, or vegetables, marinated in a mixture of yogurt and tandoori spices like garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and smoked paprika, which gives it that signature vibrant color and a smoky, spicy flavor. The marinated patty is then grilled or baked to perfection, mimicking the rich, charred taste of traditional tandoori cooking.

The burger is often topped with fresh or pickled onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and sometimes a spicy chutney or cooling mint-coriander sauce to balance the spice. A soft burger bun or naan-style bread is used to encase the fillings, adding a unique Indian twist to the meal. Some variations may also include cheese or a tangy tamarind drizzle for added flavor complexity. Tandoori burgers are typically served with sides like masala fries or a yogurt-based raita dip.
