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.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. On the other side, spread green chutney.
Place a generous layer of paneer tikka on the chutney side of the bread. Top with onion, tomato, and capsicum slices. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Add cheese if you like.
Cover with another bread slice, buttered side facing out.
Grill the sandwich in a sandwich maker, grill pan, or tava until golden and crisp on both sides.
Cut diagonally and serve hot with ketchup or more chutncey.
Use brown or multigrain bread for a healthier version.
Don’t overstuff the sandwich—keep it balanced so it grills evenly.
For extra flavour, drizzle a few drops of lemon juice on the paneer before grilling.
If you don’t have chutney, mayonnaise or even hummus works well as a spread.
Add a few lettuce leaves after grilling for freshness.
Yes, but sauté the paneer with some spices like red chilli powder, garam masala, and a little curd for flavour before stuffing.
Absolutely. Cheese is optional—it just makes the sandwich richer. The paneer tikka itself is flavourful enough.
Yes, replace paneer with tofu and use vegan butter or olive oil.
Let the sandwich cool slightly before packing. Wrap in foil to keep it crisp.
