Smoked Paneer Sandwich

 

Ingredients:

Onion - 1 small
Cabbage - 5 leaves 
Paneer - 100 g
Garlic - 10 clove
Chilli paste - 1 tsp
Butter - 2 tbsp
Cheese Slice - 5 nos
Barbecue Sauce as required 

Method:

Cut the paneer into small slices. Layer the onion and roughly tear the cabbage leaves. Apply little oil on it.

 

Roast everything on direct flame.


Keep it aside.



Roast some garlic in a pan.

 

Finely crush the garlic. Add this garlic and chilli paste to 1 tbsp butter.

 

We will use this as a spread on the bread. This will add garlic flavor and some spice to the sandwich. 

 

Apply this garlic chilli butter to the bread and arrange the roasted vegetables and paneer.

 

Squeeze out some sauce on it. I have used homemade bbq sauce as it would complement to the smoked vegetables. You can use any sauce/chutney as per your taste. 

 

Finally keep a slice of cheese. Keep the cheese at the end or first. While toasting, it will help to hold the bread together with the sandwich.

 

Close the sandwich with a slice of bread and toast it on a pan or a toaster.
