Scrumptious Bombay Mini Burgers for Cocktail Parties

Mouth-watering mini burgers, a hit amongst kids and perfect treat for cocktail parties or even as a yummy starter!
 
This is my all-time favourite party food. When there is any sort of social gathering round the corner it drives me crazy planning out the food as it is one of the crucial element of a good party, and I can never go wrong with these delicious Bombay mini burgers as I am assured that it will be a hit among the guests.

To make these yummy treats you need to prepare three things:

·         Burgers

·         Garlic Curry and Cilantro Mayonnaise

Here is how to make them:
For the Burgers:

·         4 table spoon bread crumbs

·         1 ½ table finely minced garlic

·         ¾ table spoon ginger paste

·         2-3 table spoon fresh finely chopped cilantro/coriander

·         1 ½ table spoon curry powder / garam masala

·         1 whole egg

·         2-3 table spoon vegetable oil

·         ½ table spoon paprika/Chilli Powder (optional - if you want it hot)

·         ½ table spoon lemon juice

·         3-4 table spoon diced onion or green onion (spring onions)

·         16 ounces or 1.5 Kg of minced chicken (for veggies - you can replace lamb by boiled mashed potatoes)

·         Salt- as per taste

·         Pepper- as per taste

Method – Heat the oil in a pan and sauté onions till soft and garlic and ginder. Now in a bowl add the sautéed onion, garlic, ginger, cilantro/coriander leaves & minced chicken (or boiled mashed potatoes), curry powder/curry powder, paprika/chilli powder, bread crumbs, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mash all the ingredients, make them into small patties and leave them in the fridge for an hour.
Meanwhile Beat one egg (10-15 times) in a bowl, after an hour, dip them in the egg mixture and pat them over bread crumbs and deep fry to make them crispy. Alternatively, you can also directly grill the patties (when grilled you need not do the egg part). 
Ah! The yummy burgers are done!

For Garlic Curry Cilantro Mayonnaise:

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tea spoons coarsely chopped cilantro/corriander 
• ¼  teaspoons curry powder
• 1 ½  tablespoons plain yogurt
• 1 ½  tablespoons ketchup
• 1 ½  garlic clove

Method: Just mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
Well, time for the assembly! All you have to do is assemble the tiny cooked patties on the mini burger buns and ½ teaspoon mayonnaise to it, and garnish with a slice of tomato & onion or perhaps basil!

Tada!! Enjoy the delicious burgers!! Trust me, you just can’t stop craving for more!!
