1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
5 tablespoons mango chutney, mashed if chunky
3 teaspoons curry powder
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Shake mustard seeds in medium skillet over low heat until seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer seeds to bowl.

Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spray burgers with nonstick spray; grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cut 1 end off each pita; fill with 1 burger, some lettuce and 1/4 of yogurt mixture.
