Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Sandwich Masala

   In a pan, dry roast fennel seeds, cumin seeds, cloves, black peppercorns, and cinnamon stick until fragrant and the cinnamon becomes crispy (approximately 1-2 minutes). Let the spices cool down completely. Transfer the cooled spices to a grinder and add black salt, Kashmiri red chili powder, dry mango powder, and salt. Grind everything into a fine powder.

2. 2.Prepare Bread Slices

   Take three slices of bread. Spread a generous amount of butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.

3. 3.Apply Green Chutney

   Spread the prepared green chutney generously over the buttered side of all three bread slices. (Note: The green chutney typically includes green coriander, garlic, ginger, green chili, salt, and cumin seeds, but no tomato).

4. 4.Assemble First Layer

   On the first bread slice (chutney-side up), arrange boiled potato slices. Sprinkle a generous amount of the prepared sandwich masala over the potatoes.

5. 5.Assemble Second Layer

   Place thin slices of onion over the potatoes. Sprinkle more sandwich masala. Carefully place the second bread slice (chutney-side down) on top of the onion layer.

6. 6.Assemble Third Layer

   On the second bread slice (chutney-side up), arrange tomato slices. Sprinkle sandwich masala. Add cucumber slices, then paneer slices. Sprinkle grated cheese and a final layer of sandwich masala. Cover with the third bread slice (chutney-side down).

7. 7.Grill the Sandwich (First Side)

   Heat a grill pan on medium-low heat and add a little ghee or butter. Place the assembled sandwich on the hot pan. To ensure even grilling and crispiness, place a plate on top of the sandwich and then a heavy object (like a stone) on the plate. Grill for approximately 3 minutes.

8. 8.Grill the Sandwich (Second Side)

   After about 3 minutes, remove the heavy object and plate. Spread some butter on the top side of the sandwich. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Grill the second side until golden brown and crispy, pressing down as before (approximately 2-3 minutes).

9. 9.Serve the Sandwich

   Remove the grilled sandwich from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut diagonally into two triangles. Serve immediately with green chutney and tomato ketchup.
