To build your Paneer burger, you’ll need:
1 burger bun, lightly toasted
1 tbsp mayonnaise and 1/2 tbsp chilli sauce (I’m using Lingham’s) - mix to combine, use as much as you like
1 tbsp of mashed avocado and tomato (recipe below)
Cucumber ribbons (use a potato peeler to form these thin ribbons / slice them up)
Recipe for mashed avocado and tomato:
1 avocado
1 small tomato, cubed small
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp lemon / lime juice
In a bowl, place one half of the avocado and mash it with olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon / lime juice. Cube the other half of the avocado and tomato. Add that to the mashed avocado mixture and fold.
