How to Make Paneer Tikka Sandwich

1. In a bowl, add:

• 250 g paneer (cubed)

• 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped capsicum

• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

• 1.5 tbsp hung curd

• 1 tsp each of red chilli, turmeric, garlic powder, coriander powder, garam masala

• 2 tsp tandoori masala

• Salt and pepper to taste

• A handful of chopped coriander

2. Mix well and let it marinate for 30 minutes.

3. Heat oil and butter in a pan. Cook the marinated mixture for 10–12 minutes on medium flame until the curd releases oil and everything is cooked through.

4. Take bread slices and spread the paneer tikka mixture on one side.

5. Add generous mozzarella cheese and cover with another bread slice.

6. Toast on medium-low heat in butter or oil until both sides are golden and crisp.

7. Slice and serve hot with ketchup or chutney.

Expert Tips

• Use hung curd for a thick marinade that clings to paneer.

• Grate the cheese for even melting.

• Use multigrain, sourdough, or white bread depending on preference.

• For a smoky flavor, lightly char the paneer mix on high flame at the end.
