For spicy smoked mayo mix together chilli sauce and mayonnaise. Take a piece of cinnamon and burn it over the stove till it catches fire and smoulders. Place this burning piece in a small glass bowl and place this bowl on to the chilli mayo. Pour some ghee on top while it it still burning and immediately cover the mayonnaise to trap all the smoke in. Leave aside for 15mins for mayo to become smoky. Give a good mix and our smoked chilli mayo is ready. |

For coating the paneer we need plain flour in bowl no1. In a separate bowl add flour, salt and some water to make a thick slurry. And in the 3rd bowl place sufficient bread crumbs. Now dunk the paneer into plain flour and dust off the excess. dunk it into the slurry and then coat it with bread crumbs. Pat on all sides and then deep fry till golden brown from outside. Remove and keep aside. Now cut the burger buns into 2 and apply some butter on the inside. Heat a pan and toast the burger bun on to the buttered side. Now place the base of the buns on to a chopping board.Smear some mustard and then place lettuce leaf. Place the paneer patty, slices of tomato, onions, gherkins and a generous spoon of our smoked mayonnaise, pepper powder, a cheese slice and cover it with the top of the burger bun.

How to cut a burgerUse two 6 inch satay sticks to skewer the burger on two sides, away from he center. Place your fingers on top of the burger bun and using a bread knife and cut the burger from the centre in gentle but firm sawing motion. The trick here is not to press the knife but do back & forth motion to evenly cut through the burger. The two skewers should support the assembled burgers, avoiding it from breaking apart as you cut through. |
