PANEER BREAD TOAST

Hi All, this recipe was something I saw online but added my own twist to it. Its something very easy, crispy but delicious. Originally the one I saw was done with potatoes, I tried the same with Paneer. The kids loved it and so did we, made for a perfect lunch box item and also for a snack. Times like these where all of us are down, struggling to get used to this health scare and pandemic, comfort food helps a lot. 

PANEER BREAD TOAST

INGREDIENTS

BREAD: 7-8
PANEER(Grated): 1 cup
ONION (CHOPPED FINE): 1/4th cup
GREEN CHILLI'S: 1 TSP chopped
GARLIC-GINGER: 1 TSP each finely chopped
CHAT MASALA: 1 Tsp
SALT as required
DHANIA-JEERA POWDER: 1/2 Tsp
FRESH CORIANDER LEAVES CHOPPED: 1-2 TBSP
BUTTER or GHEE as required for toast

FOR COATING

ALL PURPOSE FLOUR: 1/2 cup
SALT: 1/4th Tsp
RED CHILLI FLAKES: 1 Tsp
WATER as required


Paneer Bread Toast


MAKING

Mix the All-purpose Flour, Salt, Red chili flakes, salt with enough water and set aside. The consistency should be of a little thin, it is used for coating hence semi-thin liquid

In a bowl, add the grated paneer, chopped onion, chopped green chilli's, Garlic -Ginger finely chopped, Chat masala, Dhania-Jeera powder, Freshly chopped Cilantro ( coriander leaves), salt as required. Mix them well and set aside. 

Now take the bread, you can cut the edges or keep it as it as, spread the butter or ghee over the bread like a layer. Next, spread the paneer mixture on it like a layer evenly.

Finally, coat the one-sided layered Paneer mixture with the all-purpose flour mix. 

Heat the Tawa, add a Tsp of ghee/butter, once hot. Place the coated -layered paneer bread toast face down. That is, the side with the paneer toast will come in the bottom, face down. This enables the toast to cook well. The flour mix will give the needed coating. Once its golden brown flips it and cook the other side as well. You can spread the butter/ghee on the other side as well, this will add flavor and make it crispy.

TIPS/VARIATIONS

You could do the same with mashed Potato or grated boiled potato instead of the paneer. 

More ghee the better taste and more crispy

Perfect for Breakfast/lunch box or an evening snack
