Like I said, at the heart of this sandwich is the Paneer Bhurji, a concoction of crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese) infused with a medley of spices and aromatics. Picture soft crumbled paneer mingling with finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and a sprinkle of spices, lending warmth and depth to every bite. For this Paneer Bhurji Sandwich, crumbled paneer is sautéed with onions, tomatoes, spice powders and herbs. This can be done as per your liking. It is then stuffed inside the bread, and either toasted or grilled in an electric toaster or hand-held stove-top toaster. If you prefer sandwiches with a good filling inside, then you can also add some cheese and sliced veggies to make it fuller. With each bite, you experience a burst of flavors – the creamy richness of paneer, the tang of tomatoes, the crunch of onions, and the kick of spices, all embraced by the softness of bread. The Paneer Bhurji Sandwich is a melody of textures and tastes, a celebration of Indian street food charm infused into a handheld delight. Serve it with a spicy green chutney and tomato ketchup, and/or a side of French Fries.
