Paneer Bhurji Sandwich Recipe | What is the Recipe of Paneer Bhurji Sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cup Paneer crumbled
- 1 tbsp Ginger garlic paste
- 3 tbsp Carrot julienne
- 1/4 cup Coriander leaves chopped
- 2 Green chilli finely chopped
- 3/4 tbsp Red chilli powder
- 1 tbsp Garam masala powder
- 1/2 tbsp Roasted cumin seeds powder
- 1/8 tbsp Turmeric powder
- Salt As needed
- 1/2 tbsp Chaat masala
- 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 8 Bread slices
- Butter to smear
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 1/2 tbsp Cumin seeds
Instructions
-
Keep paneer immersed in hot water until soft. Mean while you can prepare the required ingredients. Crumble the paneer once cooled down.
-
In a pan, add oil and splutter cumin seeds in low flame. Add ginger garlic paste and give it a fry.
-
Add green chilli, carrot and capsicum. Fry for a minute to cook it but still retains it crunch.
-
Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, cumin powder and salt. Mix well.
-
Add crumbled paneer, coriander leaves and mix for 2 minutes.
-
Once mixed well, add chaat masala, lemon juice and switch off the flame. Mix well and transfer to a bowl.
-
Heat a sandwich maker until it is ready (green light goes on) and grease well with butter, both up and down. Spread the prepared paneer in a bread slice and cover it with another slice. Place in the sandwich maker and close it.
-
Once it is golden in colour, take off from the sandwich maker and divide into two to serve. I used griller plates, so I gave a quick double toast for extra crispy sandwiches.
-
Cut into triangles to serve
Tips:
- Cheese Option: You can add a slice of cheese in between the bread for a cheesy twist. This will melt into the paneer filling, making it even more indulgent.
- Add Veggies: You can also add some chopped spinach, peas, or even grated carrots to the paneer mixture for added nutrition.
- Vegan Version: For a vegan version, substitute the paneer with crumbled tofu.
- Spice Adjustments: Adjust the spice levels by adding more or less green chilies, chili powder, or garam masala to suit your taste.
Paneer Bhurji Sandwich is a delicious, filling, and protein-rich snack or meal, perfect for breakfast or lunch. It’s a great way to enjoy paneer in a fun, easy-to-make sandwich form!
