Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a pan, heat a little oil or butter. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
-
Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
-
Add ginger-garlic paste and green chili. Sauté for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
-
Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes turn soft and the mixture comes together.
-
Add crumbled or grated paneer to the mixture. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the paneer absorbs the flavors.
-
Turn off the heat and add chopped fresh coriander leaves. Allow the paneer mixture to cool slightly.
Assembling the Tawa Paneer Toast:
-
Take a slice of bread and place a generous amount of the paneer mixture on it. You can also sprinkle some grated cheese for extra indulgence.
-
Cover the paneer mixture with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.
-
Heat a tawa (griddle) or a non-stick pan. Spread a little butter or oil on the surface.
-
Place the prepared sandwich on the tawa and toast on medium heat until both sides turn golden and crispy.
-
Repeat the process for the remaining slices of bread and paneer mixture.
-
Serve the Tawa Paneer Toast hot and crispy, either as a standalone snack or accompanied by your favorite chutney or ketchup.
Note
- Customize the spices and vegetables according to your taste preferences.
- Ensure the paneer slices are well-coated with the spice mixture for maximum flavor.
- You can use whole wheat or multigrain bread for a healthier option.
- Adjust the quantity of cheese according to your liking.
- Use a non-stick tawa or skillet for even cooking and to prevent sticking.
