Well that means Simple Paneer Burger from India in French. In my
previous post, I had mentioned how to make lovely patties for Indian styled burgers, I experimented some more and found out that using breadcrumbs and making a dough, which is then made into patties is cumbersome and does not necessarily
up the taste factor either.
So, to save time, I made simple potato based patties (low fat) and topped it with Paneer instead of the cheese slices. The burgers were excellent this time too.
Ingredients (Serves 3) - Burger Buns (you get good ones in Hypercity in Hyderabad)
- Potato - 250 gms
- Green Chilies – 4-5 nos
- Ginger – 1 inch/ground to a paste
- Fresh Coriander – 1/2 cup
- Garam Masala – 1 tsp
- Amchur – 2 tsp
- Jeera – 1 tsp
- Salt to taste
- Some oil
- Paneer Slab – cut into thin slices.
- Turmeric – a small pinch
Method- Boil the potatoes with some salt until completely done and soft.
- Take a pan with some oil.
- Add Jeera till it splutters, to this add finely chopped Green Chilies, Ginger paste and turmeric.
- Make a mixture of it and then add potatoes.
- To this mixture, add Garam Masala, Amchur and salt; mix well in the process mashing up the ingredients into a fine paste. Add coriander and mix again.
- Make small balls of the mixture and pat it into the shape of a patty.
- Shallow fry the patties (fry with minimal oil like chappatis on a flat pan on both sides).
- Toast the paneer slices as well sprinkling salt if necessary.
- Toast the buns by cutting them in halves.
- Place the patty and paneer on the buns and your Burger is now ready !
