A **Nepali chicken burger** is flavorful, juicy, and slightly spicy, inspired by the bold spices commonly used in Nepali street food like Momo fillings. Here is a simple and delicious recipe you can make at home.
**Ingredients:**
* 400 g minced chicken
* 2 burger buns
* 1 small onion, finely chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon ginger paste
* 1 green chili, finely chopped
* 1 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves, chopped
* ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
* 1 teaspoon cumin powder
* 1 teaspoon garam masala
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* Salt and black pepper to taste
* 1 tablespoon oil
* Lettuce leaves
* Tomato slices
* Mayonnaise or chili sauce
**Instructions:**
First, prepare the chicken patty mixture. In a bowl, combine minced chicken, chopped onion, garlic, ginger paste, green chili, coriander leaves, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well until the spices are evenly distributed. The mixture should be slightly sticky but easy to shape.
Next, divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round burger patties. Make sure the patties are slightly larger than the buns because they shrink slightly while cooking.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the chicken patties in the pan and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they become golden brown and fully cooked inside. Make sure the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
While the patties cook, lightly toast the burger buns on a pan for about a minute. Toasting gives the burger a better texture and prevents it from becoming soggy.
To assemble the burger, spread mayonnaise or chili sauce on the bottom bun. Add lettuce leaves, place the hot chicken patty on top, then add tomato slices. Cover with the top bun.
Serve the Nepali chicken burger hot with fries or a side salad. The combination of spices gives it a unique Nepali flavor that is both aromatic and satisfying. 🍔
