Still keeping it between slices, I have beautifully spiced paneer and mix vegetable burgers.  If burgers and Buns are not your thing than just roll them in small balls – deep fry and pop them into a plain gravy of your choice.

250g paneer (grated or finely crumbled)

¼ cup cubed potatoes boiled and mashed

½ tsp (2.5ml) yellow asafoetida

1-2 green chillies finely chopped

1 cup (25ml) mix vegetable cut into small pieces (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots & peas)

1 tsp (5ml) salt

1 tsp (5ml) coriander powder

1 tbsp (15ml) corn flour

Oil for shallow frying

4 buns of your choice

Small head Lettuce

1 small onion finely sliced (optional)

1 large tomato thinly sliced

Eggless mayonnaise

Let’s Cook 🙂

First start by steaming the vegetable for a few minutes until soft.  Next, heat some oil in a pan, once hot add the asafoetida and chillies followed by the vegetable and salt – give it a good mix.

Toss in the coriander powder, cumin powder and turmeric powder.  Give it a good mix and sauté for a few minutes.  Once cooked remove from the heat and allow to cool down.

Crumble or grate the paneer into a bowl.

Add the mashed potato

Toss in the sautéed vegetable – give it a good mix.

Add the besan flour, breadcrumbs and cornflour – gently mix this in.

Divide the mixture in small balls and flatten into mini or regular burger size patties

Fry for a few minutes on medium heat on both sides.

Assemble the burgers by adding some lettuce, onions rings, a slice of tomato, the paneer burger and a dollop of mayonnaise.

Note:  if the mixture is too wet and sticky add more bread crumbs and another tablespoon besan flour.
