Instructions
-
Prep the Ingredients: Start by boiling the potatoes until soft. Once boiled and peeled, mash them in a large mixing bowl. If you’re making homemade paneer, prepare that as well.
-
-
Mix the Filling: To the mashed potatoes, add the crumbled paneer, finely chopped green chilies, chopped onions, and salt to taste. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt if necessary.
-
Assemble the Sandwich: Take a slice of whole wheat bread and spread a generous tablespoon of the paneer-potato mixture over it. You can add more filling if you prefer a thicker, more hearty sandwich. Place another slice of bread on top to close the sandwich.
-
Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is hot, place the assembled sandwich in the pan. Grill it on both sides, pressing gently to ensure the filling stays intact and the bread becomes golden brown and crispy. Grill until both sides are crisp and golden.
-
Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the pan and slice it in half. Serve the Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Paneer and Potato while hot and crispy. Pair it with a cup of steaming Adrak Chai (ginger tea) or a refreshing Banana Almond & Prunes Smoothie for a wholesome and satisfying snack.
This sandwich is a perfect blend of comfort and flavor, making it a must-try for vegetarians and cheese lovers alike. Whether you’re in need of a quick snack or want something heartwarming to enjoy with your tea, this Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Paneer & Potato is sure to please your taste buds!
