Ingredients
  • Fresh paneer - 100 gms
  • Hung curd/Greek yogurt - 2-3 tbsp
  • Onion - 1, medium, finely chopped
  • Green capsicum - 1, small, finely chopped
  • Green chilli - 1-2, finely chopped (optional)
  • Wholewheat sourdough bread - 4 slices
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Oil to spray/brush
Instructions
  1. First, coarsely grate the paneer using a box grater and take it in a bowl.
  2. Finely chop onion, capsicum and green chilli (if using).
  3. In case you are going for hung curd, then tie the curd in a cheese cloth by gathering all 4 corners of the cloth and squeeze out the water.
  4. Add chopped onion, chopped capsicum and chopped green chilli to the grated paneer. Also, add a couple of tablespoons of prepared hung curd or Greek yogurt.
  5. Sprinkle salt & pepper over the paneer and veggies. Now using a spatula start mixing everything ensuring they are evenly mixed and create a somewhat sticky mixture.
  6. Now preheat your sandwich griller and spray/brush some oil over the grilling plates.
  7. While the sandwich griller is preheating, take 2 slices of wholewheat sourdough bread and place them on a cutting board or plate.
  8. Load one slice of bread with the prepared paneer & veggie mixture. Add about 6 to 8 tablespoons of the paneer filling depending on the size of your bread slice.
  9. Evenly spread the paneer filling over the bread slice using the back of a spoon.
  10. Now cover the paneer loaded bread slice with the other slice of bread.
  11. By now the sandwich griller would have been preheated. Lift the top of the sandwich press and place the sandwich on the grill plate.
  12. Spray oil on the top slice of bread and then close the griller by pressing gently. Let the paneer sandwich grill for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown with beautiful grill marks on top.
  13. Switch off the griller and take the sandwich out on a cutting board. Using a serrated bread knife, cut the paneer sandwich diagonally into 2 pieces.
  14. Your healthy high protein paneer sandwich is ready! Serve it with fresh green salad and any dip of your choice. Enjoy!
