Ingredients
  

Paneer Filling
  • 1 cup paneer grated or crumbled
  • 2 tbsp onion finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp bell pepper finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp carrot grated
  • 1 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp thick yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp green chutney optional
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chaat masala
  • salt to taste
For Assembling
  • 8 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil for toasting

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Frying Pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Place the grated paneer in a mixing bowl. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, grated carrot, and cilantro. Mix gently so the paneer stays soft.
  2. Add the thick yogurt or mayonnaise, green chutney if using, black pepper, chaat masala, and salt. Stir until the mixture looks creamy and evenly combined.
  3. Lay the bread slices on a flat surface. Spread the paneer filling evenly over 4 slices.
  4. Cover with the remaining bread slices and press gently so the filling holds together well.
  5. Heat a pan over medium heat. Lightly spread butter or oil on the outer side of each sandwich.
  6. Place the sandwiches on the pan and toast for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and crisp.
  7. Remove the sandwiches from the pan. Let them rest for 1 minute, then cut and serve warm.

Notes

Use soft paneer for the best creamy texture. Avoid adding too much moisture from chutney or vegetables so the bread does not turn soggy. You can prepare the paneer filling up to 24 hours ahead and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Toast the sandwiches fresh for the best texture.
