# Étapes de préparation:

01 - If you're using store-bought paneer, put the block into hot water for 10 minutes to make it softer. Once it becomes pale and spongy, drain out the water fully.
02 - Break the drained paneer into small bits directly into a large bowl. Use a grater or potato ricer to shred the cooked potato into it.
03 - Mix in everything else needed for the patties: peanuts, corn, spring onions, green chillies, minced ginger and garlic, spices like chaat masala, turmeric, red chilli powder, salt, pepper, coriander, fenugreek leaves, and corn flour. Give it all a good mix until it's all evenly combined.
04 - Grab a handful of the tikki mixture and press it gently into 8 chunky, round patties. Try to make them close in size.
05 - Heat a frying pan on medium and add about 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil. Cook the patties on both sides till they're crispy and golden. Flip carefully so they don't break.
06 - Blitz mayonnaise, coriander leaves, ginger, garlic, and green chillies in a blender until smooth. Put it in the fridge for a bit to cool down, as blending can make it warm.
07 - Spread some green chutney mayo on the bottom side of each burger bun. Add a layer of sliced veggies like cucumbers or onions, place a tikki patty on top, and finish with more mayo and the top bun.
