Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the Burger Components
- Prepare the burger bun dough by mixing all ingredients (flour, yeast, egg, oil, sugar, salt, milk powder/liquid, water, sodium benzoate). Knead well until a smooth, medium-thick dough forms.
- Prepare the chicken patties by mixing chicken mince, chopped onion, garlic paste, ginger paste, green chili paste, capsicum, salt, paprika, chili flakes, coriander powder, cumin powder, ketchup, and soy sauce. Add yellow food coloring or turmeric for color. Shape into patties.
- Make the Mexican salsa by finely chopping all ingredients (onion, green chilies, tomato, coriander, cumin) and mixing them with ketchup, hot sauce, soy sauce, vinegar/lemon juice, pepper, chili flakes, fresh herbs, and salt.
- Divide the burger bun dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle, slightly larger than your patty.
Step 2. Cook the Chicken Patties
- Cook chicken patties in a pan until cooked through. Set aside to cool.
Step 3. Assemble the Burgers
- Spread salsa on the bottom bun, add a chicken patty, your favorite sauce (e.g., Thousand Island), and top with the other bun.
Step 4. Bake and Serve
- Bake the assembled burgers in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips
- For best results, finely chop all ingredients for the salsa.
- Don't use hot water or milk for the yeast in the burger bun dough. It should be cold for proper rising.
- Ensure the chicken patties are well-drained before assembling the burgers to prevent leakage.
- To prevent leakage, the patties should be smaller (around 30 grams). Assemble burgers in a way that prevents the fillings from oozing out.

A simple mayonnaise-based sauce with your favorite hot sauce or a creamy avocado sauce would be delicious alternatives.
3. How can I make these burgers vegetarian/vegan?
Substitute the beef patties with black bean burgers, portobello mushrooms, or your favorite vegetarian patty. Ensure your cheese is vegan-friendly if needed.
