Ingredients
  • 14 oz. paneer
  • Salt and pepper
  • Onion rings
  • Oil (as required)
  • Ghee (for toasting bread)
  • 8 bread slices
For the Cilantro Sesame sauce
  • One big handful of cilantro leaves
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 garlic
  • 1 green chilly (optional, for spicy kick)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (plus more if needed)
  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Slice the paneer into quarter inch thick square patties. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a pan, cook the paneer slices on medium flame until both sides are cooked and slightly browned (as shown in the picture). Keep aside.
  3. Into the same pan, cook onion rings for up to 2 minutes on both sides until slightly cooked. Do not overdo as it should maintain its shape.
  4. To prepare the cilantro sesame sauce, grind all the ingredients listed under sauce and check the salt to your preference.
  5. Turn on your toaster / panini maker to pre-heat, or if using a pan; heat it on a medium flame.
  6. Apply ghee on the outer sides of two bread slices and apply green sauce on inside. Arrange the paneer slices and onion rings between the slices to prepare your sandwich. Toast or heat the sandwich until golden on both sides.
  7. Slice the sandwich diagonally in half, serve warm with a side of tomato sauce and the remaining green sauce. Enjoy!
