Paneer Grilled Sandwich / Grilled Paneer Sandwich

Ending the protein rich dishes in Blogging Marathon series with a grilled sandwich with paneer stuffing.I can't believe that we have completed a month.

I wanted to end the series with a sweet note,but some of my personal things kept me busy.In the last minute I changed it to a simple sandwich with paneer.

As my kids love sandwiches for their after school snack,I experiment so many sandwich recipes.One such is the grilled panner sandwich with cheese and veggies.This sandwich came out extremely addictive and delicious.

Sandwich Dosa / Sandwich Masala Dosa

Today's recipe for the Cooking Carnival is a dosa with colorful filling resembles veggie sandwich.

So tried this dosa one day for evening snack for my son and he loved it.Immediately included this dosa in my list to share for this theme.
