Instructions

Prepare the Filling:
Start by mashing the boiled potatoes and avocado in a large mixing bowl. Add the grated homemade paneer (cottage cheese) to the mashed potatoes and avocado, and mix well until you get a smooth and creamy filling. Set this aside while you prepare the vegetables. -
-
Assemble the Sandwich:
Take one slice of whole wheat brown bread and spread a generous amount of the mint-coriander chutney on one side. This will add a burst of flavor and freshness to the sandwich.
Now, take another slice of bread and spread the mashed avocado-potato-paneer mixture evenly on top. This filling should cover the entire slice to ensure every bite is packed with flavor. -
Layer the Vegetables:
Layer the sliced cucumber, thinly sliced onion, and tomato over the avocado-potato filling. Sprinkle salt and black pepper powder to taste. This seasoning helps bring out the natural flavors of the fresh veggies. -
Add the Shredded Cabbage:
Place a layer of shredded cabbage on top of the veggies. The cabbage will add a delightful crunch and freshness to the sandwich, complementing the creamy filling. -
Close the Sandwich:
Finally, top the sandwich with the chutney-coated slice of bread to complete the sandwich assembly. -
Grill the Sandwich:
Preheat your sandwich maker or grill pan. Carefully place the assembled sandwich inside the sandwich maker and grill it until golden brown and crispy. The bread should have a nice crunch while the filling stays soft and gooey inside. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the sandwich is grilled to perfection, serve it hot with a refreshing Muskmelon Juice for a wholesome breakfast, or pack it in a lunchbox for a midday meal. Alternatively, enjoy it with a steaming cup of Masala Chai or coffee for a delightful tea-time snack.
