Cajun Chicken Burgers:

Ground Chicken - 1 -1 1/4 Lb
1 Medium Red Onion - finely minced
Green chillies - 15-20
Fresh Garlic - 15 pods
Cajun seasoning - 1 Tbspn
Hot Sauce - 1 Tbspn
Ground Black Pepper - 1 Tbspn
Ground Cumin - 1/2 Tbspn
Salt
Indian red karam - 1 Tbspn
Worcestershire sauce - 3 Tspns
Pepperjack cheese slices
Hamburger buns
Oil
Oinon & Tomato - cut into circles
Romaine lettuce - chopped

Process:

Buns: Halve the buns and toast them till they are slightly golden brown and keep aside

Burgers:

1) Grind chillies and garlic together (without water)
2) Mix the chilli - garlic paste, minced onion and rest of the seasonings with chicken
3) Be careful with salt - Worcester sauce and hot sauce will already have salt in it.
4) Make patties depending on how big u want
5) In a medium skillet - heat 3 tspns of oil and shallow fry them for 5 mins on each side till they are golden brown and even the sides.
6) If u see a tad bit blackish-brown - its bcoz of the Worscester sauce in it
7) At the very last minute of the cooking - put the cheese on top and cover the skillet till the cheese is melted
8) Transfer the burgers on the bun and put the onion, tomato and lettuce on it.
9) Bunski mayo lantivi emi rayanu nenu - if u prefer that way - smear some mayo on the top bun and close the burger.
