How To Make Paneer Sandwich Recipe.
To make this paneer sandwich first we should prepare scrambled paneer filling. I have used a mix of bell peppers along with crumbled paneer.
The filling is spiced with some green chilies and sesaoned with a dash of garam masala powder. You can increase the green chilies and seasoning for spicier sandwich. You can also leave out green chilies and use pepper powder instead.
When making for toddlers and kids you can use a good dose of butter and grill the sandwich until crispy.
For a low fat version reduce the butter or use olive oil.
You can also toast the sandwich in a tava on stove top or use stove top grill pan instead of sandwich maker.
Finally for vegan version use scrambled tofu and use oil instead of butter.
Serve paneer sandwich as breakfast or snack with juice, tea or milkshake. This sandwich can also be packed in tiffin, lunchbox.
