Paneer Tomato Grilled Sandwiches
Β Paneer Tomato grilled sandwiches are a perfect choice for packing in kids' lunch box or even for adults when you want to carry something filling at the same timeΒ not messy to eat on the desk .
You can also serve this as an after school snack or even makes for a perfect light dinner when paired with some warm Italian style Tomato soup . (Recipe source - Priya Iyer's blog)
Paneer takes care of the protein quotient for the day and the tomatoes keep the sandwiches moist and don't let it get too dry and stuffy.Β Adding some mozzarella chees gives a nice gooey and melt in mouth texture.Β
I love to work with different fillings that go into the sandwich and this is yet another successful attempt as my family loved the flavor and the crisp grilled bread.Β
For the spice, I have used only red chilli powder and 1 small green chilli chopped.Β Some boiled corn was added for the crunch and tomatoes used were firm and deseeded to prevent the sandwiches from getting soggy .
