Introduction

About this Recipe

Devin’s favorite go-to meal. And this from a guy who grew up on “In ‘n’ Out” burgers. He will eat these everyday if he could. He does eat it with a HUGE side of dipping sauce of kethcup & mayonnaise.  (Pure veg varieties that we buy in Vrindavan).

I eat it on a bed of steamed broccoli. You can also make grilled cheese sandwiches with the marinaded patties.

Homemade chaat masala

  • 3 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp corinader seeds
  • 1.5 tbsp fennel seeds
  • 1/4 cup dried mango powder
  • 3 tbsp black salt
  • 1.5 tsp black pepper ground
  • 1.5 tsp ginger powder
  • 1.5 tsp ajwain seeds
  • 1 tsp dried mint
  • 1/4 tsp Hing (or asafoetida)

Dry roast the cumin, corinader and fennel seeds – stirring on a dry griddle for  a few minutes until they begin to brown and give off a nice aroma.

Add the dry roasted seeds and the rest of the ingredients into a spice grinder (or coffee bean grinder) and grind to a fine powder.

Store in the frig in an airtight jar.

Definitely a good candidate for low carb diet. (Just don’t eat with a burger bun!) For keto, have on a bed of steamed broccoli and a dollop of ghee!

Notes

Deciding to cut back just a little bit on carbs, I tried this paneer burger on a bed of steamed broccoli.
Not quite as seductive as between a burger bun slathered with ketchup and mayonnaise, but very good and would definitely have this again.
