Ingredients

1 cup coriander leaves (– tightly packed)
2 green chillies (or add as per taste)
½ teaspoon chaat masala
salt (as required)
1 to 2 tablespoons water (or add as needed, for blending chutney)
200 grams paneer (– crumbled (Indian cottage cheese))
2 tablespoons curd ((yogurt))
1 pinch turmeric powder
¼ teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon Kashmiri chilli powder (or sweet paprika)
½ teaspoon coriander powder ((ground coriander))
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon dry mango powder ((amchur powder))
salt (as required)
1 medium onion (– thinly sliced in rounds)
1 small to medium red bell pepper (– thinly sliced, can use any colored bell pepper)
chaat masala (as required)
butter (– softened, as required)
10 to 12 slices of bread (– whole wheat or brown or multigrain or white bread)

Method

Making Chutney

To make the coriander chutney, add rinsed and drained coriander leaves and green chillies to a small blender or grinder. Add chaat masala and salt.
Blend to a smooth paste. Avoid adding water unless necessary. If needed, add a little water to help with blending.
Transfer the chutney to a bowl. You can add a few drops of lemon juice if desired.

Making Paneer Filling

Crumble the paneer into a bowl. Do not crumble it too finely. Small chunks are fine. You can also chop the paneer into small cubes instead of crumbling.
Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, Kashmiri chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder and dry mango powder.
Add curd (yogurt) and season with salt.
Mix everything very well to make a soft, spiced paneer stuffing.

Making Paneer Sandwich

To assemble, spread butter on the bread slices. Apply coriander chutney on top of the buttered slices.
Place thin onion slices and sliced bell pepper over the chutney. Sprinkle some chaat masala.
Spread the prepared paneer stuffing evenly.
Cover with the remaining bread slices that have been spread with butter and chutney.
Place the sandwiches in a preheated sandwich maker and grill until crisp and golden.
Remove and serve the paneer sandwich hot or warm with your preferred dip or sauce.
