Ingredients
 
 

  • 500 grams minced chicken Preferably organic or free-range
  • 1 cup coconut milk Full-fat for a richer taste
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder Burmese curry powder preferred
  • 1 medium onion Finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic Minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger Grated
  • 1 small lime Juiced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt To taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper Freshly ground
  • 4 medium burger buns Preferably brioche
  • 0.5 cup fresh cilantro Chopped for garnish
  • 0.5 cup cucumber slices For topping

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine minced chicken, coconut milk, curry powder, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  • Form the mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties. Ensure the edges are smooth to avoid cracks during cooking.
  • Heat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 180°C/355°F). Cook each patty for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through, registering an internal temperature of 74°C/165°F.
  • Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate pan until golden brown.
  • Assemble the burgers by placing the coconut curry patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add cucumber slices and a generous scattering of fresh cilantro. Top with the second half of the bun.

Notes

To enhance the flavor, marinate the chicken mixture for an additional 30 minutes in the refrigerator. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne to the patty mixture.
