1 medium.onion
Cilantro

Method

Add the boneless chicken, onion, cilantro, green chilies, garlic, fennel seeds, vinegar, soy sauce, chili powder, and egg (if using) into a food processor.
Pulse everything together until it turns into a smooth but slightly textured mince.

2️⃣ Shape
Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Divide into equal portions and loosely shape into balls.
Chill for 20–30 minutes (this helps in easy smashing).

3️⃣ Smash & Cook
Heat a pan or griddle with a little oil.
Place one portion on the hot pan and immediately press it down with a spatula to form a thin patty.
Cook on medium-high for 3–4 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until fully cooked through.

For the dough check my previous recipe.

Caramelize the onion in the same pan and keep it aside.

For the sauce

Mayo
Mustard paste
Sriracha
Some paprika
