"Homemade paneer with Indian spices made into patties and served with homemade spiced masala bread called Pau makes for a delicious lunch or picnic. This is an Indian twist to burger land. Both paneer and chenna are fresh curd cheeses made by adding vinegar or lemon juice to hot milk. The difference between the two lies in their texture. Chenna is crumbly and moist while paneer happens when all the moisture has been drained off. Using paneer in this recipe makes it easy for binding the burgers and boiled potato further helps that process. You can make the patties as mild or as spicy as you want. If you are not in the mood for making the chutney, just add in chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon. This recipe is great for entertainment guests. Make it into smaller sized sliders and have the guests assemble their own burgers."
