Paneer Tikka Sandwich

I love the cooking part...However deciding what to cook is the part I dread. My Mom would tell us that we didn't help her decide what to cook and always left it to her. I didn't see a big deal in it until I took my plunge. I find myself always asking my husband to help me decide what to cook. On Friday night however I gave him a warning, he had to come up with what the breakfast was going to be the next day, else there was going to be no breakfast. He immediately replied with 'Paneer Tikka Sandwich'.
Paneer Tikka Sandwich for breakfast?? Did he purposely say that because I had never made it before?? Either ways, I took it up.

Spicy Paneer Tikka Sandwiches:

Ingredients:
4 slices of Sandwich Bread

6 slices Tomatoes

1 Cheese slice

Pinch of Hing (Asafoetida)
Pinch of Jeera (Cumin)
½ Onion
1 Green chilly
1 ½ tsp Red Chilli powder

2. Making Paneer Tikka
Heat the oil in a wok. Add jeera, once it splutters add hing. Saute the onion till transparent. Add the green chilly, slit and cut into 1 cm long pieces (You don't see it in the Cut Vegetables pic above, coz I remembered about it later :) This is what happens when you are making something for the first time). Now add all the masalas. Add grated tomato to it and saute till the oil separates. Add the Capsicum; let it cook for a min. Cook for another 2 mins after adding the Paneer. Take it out in a bowl and let it cool.

3. Laying the Sandwich
On a bread slice, lay out the cabbage and Carrot mix. The next layer is of the Paneer Tikka. Place half of the cheese slice folded into half. Put the cucumber and the tomato pieces and cover this with another Cabbage and carrot layer.

Cover this with another slice. Similarly set other sandwich as well.
Heat the griller and place the sandwiches in.
Enjoy with tomato ketchup.
