1. Prepare the Mint Raita:

– In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, sugar, salt, ground cumin, and red chili or paprika (if using).

– Mix until well combined and all ingredients are evenly distributed.

– Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you make the patties.

2. Prepare the Tandoori Patties:

– In a food processor, blend the small onion until it turns into a paste.

– Transfer the onion paste to a large mixing bowl.

– To the bowl, add the ground turkey (or chicken), Tandoori masala powder, crushed ginger, crushed garlic, chopped mint, and salt.

– Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.

– Shape the mixture into round balls with your palms, then flatten them to create patties.

3. Cook the Patties:

– Preheat a grill or griddle pan and brush it lightly with oil.

– Once hot, place the patties on the grill or pan.

– Cook each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. This should take a few minutes per side.

4. Assemble the Sliders:

– Take the bottom half of a hamburger bun.

– Spread a generous amount of mint raita on it.

– Place a cooked Tandoori patty on top.

– Follow with a piece of lettuce, a slice of onion, and a slice of tomato.

– Cap it off with the top half of the bun.

– Repeat the assembly process with the remaining ingredients.

5. Serve and Enjoy!

– Serve the Tandoori Turkey Sliders with Mint Raita immediately. They’re perfect for gatherings, picnics, or as a delicious twist on the traditional slider.
