"This is a very satisfying lunch. The recipe is from a Chatelaine Magazine with several adaptations by me. If you are making these for kids buy the small pitas and just put one burger in each"

directions
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl mix the chicken with, yogurt, fresh coriander,ginger, curry, salt, dry coriander, cumin and cayenne. Use your hand to really mix spices, yogurt and chicken together.
- Sprinkle with tomato, jalapeno, and onions.
- Mix until everything is evenly blended.
- If the mixture is so wet that it clings to your hands stir in some bread crumbs Form the mixture into patties approx 2 1/2" by 1/2" thick.
- Spray a baking sheet with veggie oil.
- Place patties on the baking sheet single layer and bake in 400°F oven for approx 8 minutes. Turn patties over and bake for another 8 minutes or until they are cooked. Slice the pitas in half, wrap in foil and warm in the oven during the last few minutes that the patties are baking. Place 2 patties in each pita and top with your favorites (I love chopped sweet onion, lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese and sliced olives).

I loved this burger! I used turkey because thats what I had, and didn't need to use the bread crumbs .. served it on a regular bun with lots of lettuce, tomatoes and mayo .. thanks!!

This was really good! I couldn't find fresh coriander so I used a little extra dried coriander, which might have been a little less flavorful. Next time I'm planning to add a little extra curry or some garlic. Great with tzatziki.

I love this burger. I made a little different because I had chicken patties (pre-made). I marinated the patties with the yogurt, ginger, curry,cumin and cayenne overnight. I served them with onion, jalepeno, tomato and cheese on a 12 grain bread. Definately will be making them again.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
