Prepare the Filling
Start by mashing the potato and avocado in a large mixing bowl. Add the grated homemade paneer (cottage cheese) and combine everything thoroughly to form a smooth and creamy mixture. Set aside. -
-
Assemble the Sandwich
Take one slice of whole wheat brown bread and spread a generous layer of the mint-coriander chutney on it. This adds a burst of fresh flavor to the sandwich.
Place the second slice of bread flat on a clean surface. -
Layer the Vegetables
Spread the mashed potato, avocado, and cottage cheese mixture on top of the bottom slice of bread.
Arrange the sliced cucumber, onion, and tomato on top of the mixture, layering them evenly. -
Season and Add Cabbage
Sprinkle salt and black pepper powder to taste over the vegetables.
Top with a layer of shredded cabbage to add a crunch and fresh taste. -
Top and Grill
Place the chutney-covered slice of bread on top, completing the sandwich.
Preheat your sandwich maker or grill. Once hot, carefully place the sandwich inside and grill until the bread is crisp and golden brown. -
Serve
Once your sandwich is grilled to perfection, remove it from the sandwich maker. Serve hot with a side of muskmelon juice, or pack it for a lunchbox. It also pairs wonderfully with a cup of masala chai or coffee for a satisfying tea-time snack.
