A bold and flavorful spin on the traditional burger, these Tandoori chicken burgers are seasoned with garam masala and warm curry.
These tandoori chicken burgers are super easy. All you do is add amazing spices and whip up a simple yogurt sauce, which I make all the time.
Large pita bread instead of burger buns and top with fresh tomato.
This is my kinda summer-grillin'!
