Garam Masala Chicken Burgers With Tomato Relish Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup oil, garam masala, ginger, garlic, and 1 tablespoon salt. Place chicken in a large baking dish or plastic bag, loosen the skin from the breast and legs of the chicken and, using your hands, spread a good part of the mixture underneath. Rub the remaining mixture inside the chicken cavity and over the skin. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Loosely cover, refrigerate, and let marinate 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
• Arrange the rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove chicken from marinade, let any excess drip off, and reserve marinade. Let chicken sit at room temperature while oven warms up, about 30 minutes.
• When the oven is heated, place potatoes, squash, and onions in bottom of a roasting pan, drizzle with any remaining marinade, remaining 1/4 cup oil, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, and season well freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat. Place chicken, breast side up, on top of vegetables and roast until skin becomes brown and vegetables are starting to get tender, about 1 hour. Brush yogurt on chicken and continue roasting until chicken is well browned, juices run clear when inner thigh is pierced with a knife, legs move easily in the joint, and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the thigh registers160 to 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about another 40 to 50 minutes. Let chicken rest at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
• For the sauce: Place the thawed pulp in a non-reactive (stainless steel or anodized aluminum) 3-quart fire-proof saucepan. Add the brown sugar, cumin, cayenne, and salt and mix well. Place the pan on the grill and let the mixture simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will thicken and result in about 1 cup of sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small glass bowl and let it cool.;
• For the patties: Place the ginger and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until finely chopped.
• Place the oil in a medium-sized nonstick fire-proof skillet. Place the skillet on the grill and let heat for a few minutes. Transfer the chopped garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, just a few minutes. Add the garam masala and cayenne and cook until the mixture turns brown. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for a few minutes. Add the salt and mix well. Transfer the spice mixture to a large bowl. Add the beef and mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form 6 patties. Transfer the patties to a large baking dish and refrigerate.
• For the relish: Combine the onion, tomatoes, mint, salt, and lemon juice in a medium-sized glass bowl, mix well, and refrigerate.
• When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the patties over, cover, and grill for another 3 to 5 minutes or until done to your liking. Transfer the patties to a serving platter.
• Brush the cut sides of the buns with oil and grill them until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
• To assemble the burgers, place enough lettuce to cover the browned side of the bottom buns. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the sauce on each of them. Add the patties and then add a few tablespoons of relish on each patty. Add the top buns and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a shallow baking dish with aluminum foil. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add onion, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, garam masala, cumin and ground ginger; cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the onion is soft and the spices are fragrant. Adjust the heat as needed so the onion cooks but does not brown. When onion is done, transfer half of the onion mixture to a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, water and brown sugar to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium so the liquid in the skillet is bubbling at the edges. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and the flavors have blended. Remove from the heat, and transfer the relish to a small bowl. Mix in cilantro Add the chicken to the bowl containing the cooked onion mixture along with 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs, the milk and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mix the ingredients to thoroughly combine everything. Have a plate ready for the chicken burgers. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs on a small plate. Working with one-fifth of the chicken mixture, form a burger-shaped patty 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Place the burger on the bread crumbs, turning to coat both sides. Transfer to a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture. Heat 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned on the first side. Turn the burgers over and cook for 1 minute to sear the second side, adding a teaspoon or so of oil as needed, then transfer the burgers to the foil-lined pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the burgers registers 170 degrees. Let the burgers rest for 10 minutes before serving. Top each burger with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the tomato relish.

Steps:

• Mix chicken, red onion, cilantro, chili powder, yogurt, tandoori paste, lemon juice, parsley, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic paste, ginger paste, and garam masala together in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir bread crumbs and egg into chicken mixture; form into patties. Arrange patties on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook burgers in the hot oil until browned, 7 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and add the onions; cook another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, garlic salt, and water to the chicken; stir. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoon garam masala. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garam masala through the mixture. Raise heat to medium and bring mixture to a boil. Cook until the chicken no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
