Welcome to our yummy cooking blog! Today, we’re making a tasty and healthy Paneer Sandwich. This sandwich is packed with protein and is super easy to make. Perfect for lunch or a snack! Let’s get started!
What is a Paneer Sandwich?
A Paneer Sandwich is a delicious sandwich made with soft paneer (Indian cheese) and fresh vegetables, all between slices of bread. It’s cheesy, flavorful, and a fun way to eat your protein!
Why is it Healthy?
Paneer is rich in protein, which helps our muscles grow strong. Adding veggies makes it even healthier, providing vitamins and minerals. It’s a great option for a balanced meal!

Here’s what you need to make our Paneer Sandwich:
- 2 slices of bread (whole wheat or any type you like)

- 1 small tomato (sliced)
- 1/4 cup of lettuce (or any leafy greens)
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or yogurt (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A pinch of chili powder or mustard (optional)
Kitchen Tools You Will Need

How to Make a Paneer Sandwich
Step 1: Prepare the Paneer
If you’re using paneer, crumble or slice it into small pieces. You can also add a little salt and chilli powder to give it some flavour.
Step 2: Slice the Vegetables
Wash all your vegetables. Slice the cucumber and tomato.
Step 3: Spread the Dressing
Take the two slices of bread and place them on a plate. If you like, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or yogurt on one side of each slice. This adds creaminess!
Step 4: Layer the Ingredients
Now, let’s build our sandwich! Start with a layer of lettuce on one slice of bread. Then, add the sliced cucumber and tomato. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled or sliced paneer on top.
Step 5: Put It Together
Place the other slice of bread on top, dressing side down. Press gently so everything sticks together.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Using a knife, cut the sandwich in half or into quarters. It’s now ready to eat!
