Indian Chicken Burger Patty
with cucumbers / curry mayo / grilled okra
Seasoned with Indian spices, these unique burger patties are great cooked on the grill or indoors on a skillet.
Smarts: If using the grill, it's a good idea to use a grill basket for the okra to prevent it from falling through the slats. If you don't have a grill basket, you can also spread a layer of foil out on the grill and cook the okra directly on the foil.
