Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by preparing the ingredients for the filling. First, boil the potatoes until they are soft and easy to peel. If youโre making homemade paneer, ensure itโs crumbled and ready for use. -
Mash the Potatoes:
In a large mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. This will serve as the base for your filling. -
Combine the Filling:
Add the crumbled paneer, finely chopped green chilies, finely chopped onion, and a pinch of salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix everything thoroughly to combine. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt as needed. -
Assemble the Sandwich:
Take a slice of whole wheat bread and spread a generous tablespoon of the paneer-potato filling over it. Feel free to add more filling if you prefer a heartier sandwich. Cover it with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich. -
Grill the Sandwich:
Heat a skillet or griddle pan over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of salted butter. Once the butter has melted and the pan is hot, place the sandwich on the skillet. Grill it on both sides, pressing it gently, until the bread is golden and crispy and the filling is heated through. -
Serve:
Remove the sandwich from the pan and cut it in half. Serve your Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Paneer & Potato with a hot cup of Adrak Chai or a refreshing Banana Almond & Prunes Smoothie for a fulfilling breakfast or a delightful tea-time snack.
Enjoy this protein-rich, flavorful sandwich thatโs perfect for any time of day!
