    To create a vegan version of the spicy paneer burger, you can substitute paneer with tofu or a plant-based cheese alternative. Marinate the tofu slices in the same spices and cook them on a non-stick tawa until golden brown. This will give you a delicious and cruelty-free burger option.

  2. What are some good side dishes to serve with spicy paneer burgers?

    Spicy paneer burgers pair well with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving them with crispy sweet potato fries, a fresh green salad, or a tangy coleslaw. You can also add a side of spicy chutney for an extra kick!

  3. How should I store leftover spicy paneer burgers?

    To store leftover spicy paneer burgers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, reheat the burgers on a non-stick tawa or in the oven to maintain their crispiness.

  4. Can I use different spices for the spicy paneer burger marinade?

    Absolutely! While chili powder and garam masala are traditional, you can experiment with other spices like cumin, coriander, or smoked paprika to customize the flavor of your spicy paneer burger. Just be mindful of the spice levels to suit your taste.

  5. What type of burger buns work best for spicy paneer burgers?

    For spicy paneer burgers, you can use regular burger buns, whole wheat buns, or even gluten-free options if needed. Brioche buns add a nice sweetness, while ciabatta rolls provide a hearty texture. Choose a bun that complements the spiciness of the paneer!
