This recipe combines spices from my Indian roots with a modern twist. If you want to add some extra heat to your sandwiches, add half a serrano pepper to the slaw. —Mary Lou Timpson, Centennial Park, Arizona

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons tandoori masala seasoning
• 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound)
• 1 cup shredded daikon radish
• 2 tablespoons grated onion
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 4 brioche hamburger buns, split and toasted
• 4 lettuce leaves

Directions

• In a large bowl, whisk yogurt and tandoori seasoning until blended. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight, turning occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine slaw ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, until serving. For sauce, combine yogurt, mint, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.
• Drain chicken, discarding marinade. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until a thermometer reads 170°, 5-6 minutes on each side. Spread sauce over toasted bun tops. On each bun bottom, layer lettuce, chicken and slaw. Replace tops.
