Paneer sandwich recipe, Kids sandwich recipes

Paneer sandwich is easy delicious, kid’s favorite sandwich. It can also be a quick fix for a filling tea time snack for your whole family.
With paneer (Indian cottage cheese), few vegetables and masala powders, its tasty as well as healthy stuffing to sandwich between breads and make snack. Use whole grain bread for healthier choice.

This is the first time I am making paneer sandwich. Weird right😝? I always had a thought paneer sandwich could be dry and not as tasty as sandwiches with cheese. But this one was tasting really great and Aj too loved it. After years of packing pizza sandwich in his lunch box and not getting convinced for any other sandwich, finally he told he can take paneer sandwich instead the cheesy pizza sandwich.
So heres my version of paneer sandwich and I know many of you look for this specific sandwich in my blog. Here is it.

Instructions

• In a pan, add oil and splutter cumin seeds in low flame. Add ginger garlic paste and give it a fry.
• Add green chilli, carrot and capsicum. Fry for a minute to cook it but still retains it crunch.
• Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, cumin powder and salt. Mix well.

• Once mixed well, add chaat masala, lemon juice and switch off the flame. Mix well and transfer to a bowl.
• Heat a sandwich maker until it is ready (green light goes on) and grease well with butter, both up and down. Spread the prepared paneer in a bread slice and cover it with another slice. Place in the sandwich maker and close it.
• Once it is golden in colour, take off from the sandwich maker and divide into two to serve. I used griller plates, so I gave a quick double toast for extra crispy sandwiches.

Notes

• I used kohinoor paneer if frozen or Milky mist and Suvai if fresh paneer.
• I crumble paneer with hands, but you can give it a run in mixer too.
• You can add vegetables of your choice too like sweet corn, peas etc.
• Chaat masala has salt, so adjust the amount of salt that goes in.
• Do not use more oil than mentioned otherwise it could become too oily.
