I usually make fresh paneer for any recipes that call for crumbled paneer, so this one too I used fresh homemade paneer that was made using 2 cups full fat milk & 1½ tsp lemon juice. But this recipe works good even with store bought frozen paneer. This tawa paneer sandwich recipe is a kids friendly recipe and can be served even to toddlers. There is no chopping of onions or tomatoes involved except using the raw slices, so that does the trick of saving some time. This can be made on a tawa/ griddle, sandwich toaster, grill or even can be made in oven. I have made this in a skillet since I feel that is the quickest way.

How to make paneer bhurji sandwich
- Smear softened butter or ghee over the bread slices and toast them until golden. If you are making 2 servings, Take a larger skillet and toast them all at one time or two. If you prefer to toast or grill the sandwiches then skip doing it on the tawa.
- While the bread toasts, slice an onion and tomato. Set aside all the bread slices.
- Add 1.5 tsp oil to the pan and saute chili, garlic and cumin. You can also use ginger in place of garlic. Saute until the garlic turns golden.
- Add the crumbled paneer. Switch off the stove.
- Add salt, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur powder or lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves.
- Mix everything well.
- Place this on the bread.
- Then layer onions & tomatoes. You can also add very thin slices of yellow and red bell peppers.
- You can place lettuce or coriander leaves. You can also add green chutney or chili sauce.
- Cover with another slice of bread. Gently press down. You can also grill these now until golden if you have not toasted at step 1. Halve the paneer bhurji sandwich and serve. Related Recipes
