Paneer Burger With Indian Slaw

Paneer (pan-ear) is an Indian cheese that is a great meat alternative in a lot of traditional Indian dishes. In that spirit, we've developed a spicy paneer burger, served with an Indian carrot and cucumber slaw, curry mayo and spiced potatoes. This is true fusion food, with the meatiness of the cheese replicating the meat in a conventional burger.

Top, tail and peel the carrot[s], then continue to peel lengths until you end up with a pile of 'carrot ribbons

Combine the mango chutney with 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] olive oil in a large bowl 

Add 3/4 of the nigella seeds and season with a pinch of salt
