Spiced Indian Cheese Patty Burger (Low-Calorie)
Spiced paneer patties pan-seared with cumin, coriander and garam masala, layered into a toasted whole-wheat bun with cooling mint-yogurt chutney, tomato and cucumber. A lighter take on the classic Indian burger using low-fat paneer and yogurt sauce instead of deep-fried patties and mayonnaise for a lean, protein-rich vegetarian meal.
