Today's post was packed for Konda. I had been planning to make Herb Paneer. So finally got around making it. Then I had spread cheese cream on one side stuffed with Herb Paneer. It was very delicious and surely made a change from regular.
Grilled Herb Paneer Sandwich
Ingredients Needed:
For the Herb Paneer
Milk - 1/2 litre
Lemon juice - 2 tsp or as much as required
Pepper, crushed coarsely - 1 tsp
Roasted Cumin powder - 1 tsp
Salt -1/4 tsp
Coriander Leaves, finely chopped -1 tsp
Corn flour - 2 tsp
For the Sandwich
Bread Slices - 4 nos
Cheese Cream - 2 tsp
Butter / Ghee - 1 tsp
Herb Paneer - 2 slices
How to make the Sandwich
For the Herb Paneer
Bring the Milk to boil and add lemon juice. The cheese starts curdling and whey separates. Strain the cheese from the drain, collect it in a muslin cloth and squeeze out the water.
Transfer it a bowl, add the pepper, cumin, salt, corn flour and coriander leaves. Mix well and quickly pack again in the cloth and place under a heavy object to set the paneer.
Once done, store it in fridge or use right away.
For making the Sandwich
Butter both sides of the bread and spread one slice with cream cheese. On other side, place the sliced paneer.
Heat the grill and place the bread on hot pan, cover with the other slice and close tightly.
Heat till done.
Pack in air tight container.
Notes:
I had to make it later than expected and pressed hard on a box and stored. Though it wasn't as strong as it would otherwise be, it was good to be stuffed in.

Pandulu says
Hi-
i've followed your blog for over a year...and tried lots of recipes.
this recipe calls for 1/2 cup of milk to make the paneer...is this a typo? half a cup cannot make as much as your picture showed. Can you clarify? tks
Srivalli says
Pandulu Thanks for pointing it out. I meant to say 1/2 litre..have corrected it now..hope you enjoy making it.
Pandulu says
Hi - i don't have corn flour ...can i use wheat flour instead of corn flour as stated in the ingredients?
Padma Rekha says
Love that flavors in paneer paneer sandwich for any time..
Srivalli says
Pandulu The corn flour is used to get the paneer set, I am not sure if other flours will get the paneer set. Maybe you can try with a small amount and check. However you can set the paneer without corn flour as well. Make sure you keep it under very heavy object for the paneer to set.

I've seen herbed paneer in many blogs before and wanted to make it, but never did because I didn't know what to do with it. Now I know how I can use it. Will definitely try your yummy sandwich.
