Grilled Paneer Sandwich Recipe – An easy bread sandwich recipe with paneer (cottage cheese) along with indian spices as filling. Kids will love them either for breakfast or for a quick snack.
My kids simply love breads and go through them like water every week. Every day they eat bread either for their school snack or for their breakfast and grilled sandwiches are always a winner with them.
I have grilled the assembled sandwiches in my sandwich maker using the grill plates but you can also toast them in a tawa. Both will be equally good.
While toasting on the tawa, make sure you toast them over low flame taking enough time for the crispy and crunchy effect and for even browning of the bread slices.
Earlier whenever the milk curdled, I used to make paneer bhurji and the kids would love to spread them on a chapathi, roll it and enjoy them but nowadays they prefer these grilled paneer sandwich.
You can also use scrambled or grated tofu (soya paneer) instead of the regular paneer to make this sandwich following the same recipe. Use brown bread or multi grain flour bread for an even healthier sandwich.
