Dish: Paneer Spinach Sandwich
Today I have a filling and delicious paneer spinach sandwich. This recipe is adapted from Raks Kitchen. Her sandwich looked so tempting and delicious that I had to make with the paneer I had in the freezer. Frozen paneer tends to crumble very easily, so this is a perfect recipe with it.
I love paneer bhurji and this sandwich is another great way to enjoy the bhurji. Original recipe from Raks Kitchen had peppers and grated carrot added to the paneer, I used baby spinach and green peas instead. This recipe can be very easily customized to one’s taste preference.
This paneer spinach sandwich is a quick and easy recipe that is great to serve for breakfast, light lunch or as an afternoon snack. It is also good to pack in the lunch box. Paneer is packed with protein and when the sandwich is made with wholegrain/ whole wheat bread, it is quite nutritious and wholesome.
Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 77.

- Heat 1tbsp oil in a pan; add the onions, ginger+garlic paste and cook till the onions turn translucent, about 3~4 minutes.
- Next add the spinach, green peas and cook till the spinach is wilted about 3~4 minutes.

I make a similar sandwich often for weekend breakfast.. your clicks looks awesome!
Paneer and spinach both are my favorite and its fusion in sandwich looks superb.
I usually add spinach to the paneer to make sandwiches, its a great snack or even as a light meal with some salad.
A healthy sandwich ! The paneer , paalak and peas all three would make it a protein sandwich ! Definitely a perfect breakfast .
