Tandoori Chicken Burgers

"I came across this on the Foodnetwork.ca (.ca is the Canadian version, while fooodnetwork.com is the American version). It does call for yogurt or creamy dressing, but as some one who keeps Kosher I would most likely use soya or pareve yogurt or dressing (meaning it's not made with milk or other dairy products)."

I prepared small tandori burgers (1 pound chicken = 16 mini burgers).<br/>I didn't have ground chicken, so I chopped 1 pound of chicken breast.<br/><br/>I served this with, cucumber, nectarine peaches, yougurt and lime pickles<br/>Woderful, this made a great appetizer!<br/>I prepared the wholegrain buns myself and baked them while I was baking the burgers on two different baking sheets.<br/>Thanks a lot for this easy recipe.
