Method 

Step 1 - Marinate 

For marinating the paneer apply salt, chilli powder, cumin powder, pepper,chaat masala, kasoori methi, ginger paste, garlic paste and chopped coriander. Rub it all on to the paneer to coat it evenly and leave aside for 30mins.

Step 2 - Coating

Low carb way 

For coating the paneer we need to beat an egg with some salt, pepper, chilli powder and kasuri methi in bowl no 1. In a separate bowl add almond flour and salt. Now dunk the paneer into egg mixture and then coat with almond flour. Pat on all sides and then pan fry in hot oil till golden brown from outside. Remove and keep aside.

Other way 

For coating the paneer we need plain flour in bowl no1. In a 2nd bowl add refined flour/gram flour, salt, pepper and some water to make a thick slurry. And in the 3rd bowl place 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 or pan fry till golden brown from outside. Remove and keep aside.

Step 3- Assembling the burger 

Now cut the burger buns into 2 and apply some butter on the inside. Place the cutlet  on the bun. Put some mayo or cheese sauce. Top it with your favourite veggies. Enjoy with fries and dips.
