Paneer Sandwich / Cottage cheese Sandwich

 

I made a batch of Paneer / Cottage cheese at home. Tried this sandwich with that fresh Paneer. I will share the making of Homemade paneer some other time.

To reduce the extra calories in normal cheese sandwich, I replaced the cheese with cottage cheese. It is more filling and very tasty too. But the taste is totally different from the usual cheese sandwich.

By adding some indian spices, this is pakka desi sandwich. Altering the spice quantity is purely ur choice, this one is such a customizable sandwich you will ever come across in your life.
