In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well into a smooth marinade.
1
Coat the paneer slabs evenly in the marinade, cover, and let rest.
2
Heat oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, garlic cloves, and minced ginger, cooking until fragrant.
3
Add chopped red onion and sauté until softened, then add chopped tomatoes, coriander stems, and seasoning spices (turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, and salt). Cook until tomatoes break down.
4
Transfer the cooked sauce base to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
5
Pour the sauce back into the pan over low heat, stir in heavy cream, and simmer until rich and thickened.
6
In a separate grill pan over medium-high heat, cook the marinated paneer slabs for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred with grill marks.
7
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom burger buns, then layer with lettuce, a grilled paneer slab, green chutney, red onion, sliced tomato, and cucumber ribbons. Top with the bun lids.
8
Spread the warm makhani sauce across a serving platter, drizzle with cream, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and sliced chilies. Arrange the burgers on the sauce to dip and serve.
