Paneer Sandwich

If you have some leftover paneer tikka from last night’s dinner, don’t let it go to waste! This Paneer Tikka Sandwich is a creative way to repurpose those smoky, spiced cubes into a wholesome snack or meal. The tikka’s rich marinade pairs beautifully with crisp vegetables, green chutney, and soft bread, which when grilled, turns irresistibly crunchy on the outside and gooey inside.

This sandwich works for busy mornings, tiffin boxes, or a quick office lunch. It’s also a crowd-pleaser for small gatherings since it takes very little time to put together. You can prepare it on a grill pan, sandwich maker, or even a regular tava. Serve it hot with ketchup or extra chutney on the side.

Lightly mash the leftover paneer tikka cubes with a fork so they spread evenly in the sandwich.

Tips and Tricks

  1. Use brown or multigrain bread for a healthier version.

  2. Don’t overstuff the sandwich—keep it balanced so it grills evenly.

  3. For extra flavour, drizzle a few drops of lemon juice on the paneer before grilling.

  4. If you don’t have chutney, mayonnaise or even hummus works well as a spread.

  5. Add a few lettuce leaves after grilling for freshness.
