It is so easy to please dads! No need of flowers or jewels! All they want is a day at the golf course and perfectly grilled burgers! Am I right?

This Father’s Day, treat your dad or husband with this lip-smacking tandoori chicken sliders topped with spicy cilantro-mint chimichurri sauce and served with a side of Asian coleslaw.

These adorable mini burgers are a burst of flavors as they are seasoned with sautéed veggies and tandoori spices!!

I prefer making sliders as they are fast to cook and you can make an assortment of these with different toppings as fancy appetizers.

Best of all, these are a big time favorite among the guys in my family! Today, I have made these sliders with kale, mushrooms and bell peppers….sounds yum?
