Paneer Sandwich

This is a simple and healthy sandwich in which a tangy paneer stuffing between the bread slice makes the evening snack or morning breakfast perfect.Yesterday myself and my son was craving for something to eat in the evening,the weather was so cloudy and rainy.Wanted to eat a healthy and filling snack and not feeling to munch any fried item.When I looked at the pantry and refrigerator a pack of bread ,some left over mint chutney and paneer were there and suddenly got an idea of making sandwich as my son loves to eat paneer in any form.

Enjoy it with ketchup or sweet & hot sauce and a cup of tea.


  • Cooking the paneer in the medium flame is very important otherwise the paneer turns out hard.
  • A tsp of ginger of ginger&garlic paste can be added,instead of grated ginger.
  • Using mint chutney is purely optional,it gives an additional flavor(used the leftover chutney).
  • Toasting it with butter gives an extra taste to the sandwich,again its optional but while toasting in griddle butter is needed.
