Spicy Paneer Sandwich

Paneer or Indian cottage cheese is a versatile ingredient and adds charm to any recipe whether be savory or sweet. It’s an all- time favorite food and my kids relish paneer in any form. Kids are headed home from playfields and will be looking for munchies that taste insanely sweet or salty to fill their hungry bellies. Instead of junk food I will offer them a healthy quick fix that is delicious, nutritious and their favorite too. It’s a 15 minutes recipe from start to finish !!

RECIPE DETAIL – Homemade crumbled paneer is combined with hot sauce and few basic ingredients to create this spicy paneer sandwich. Paneer is pretty bland in taste and it absorbs any kind of spice or flavor added to it. Very adaptive recipe, add veggies and spices of your choice and make it even more flavorful and delicious. For vegan option – substitute paneer with tofu.

For a healthier sandwich, substitute sandwich bread with wheat bread, sourdough bread or grain bread. If grilling on a tawa – make sure you toast the sandwich on a medium low flame until it is crunchy and crispy. On busy afternoons my lunch is usually a hand- held sandwich or a wrap – healthy and super easy to make.
