Paneer burgers are a popular dish in India. The dish is made out of paneer with a mixture of vegetables and spices wrapped in a thin bread bun and fried on the grill.
These burgers are very similar to traditional burgers; however they have the distinct taste of spicy Indian seasonings. The burgers are easy to make and can be prepared in about 20 to 30 minutes.
Paneer is an excellent substitute for meat in vegetarian dishes. It provides the same taste and texture and often called as the vegetarian option to chicken.
