Mix all the ingredients well until the paneer and vegetables are evenly coated with the spices and curd. Add chopped fresh coriander leaves and mix.

  3. Cook the Paneer Mixture

    Place a pan or kadai on the flame. Add 1/2 tsp mustard oil and let it heat up. Once the oil is hot, add the prepared paneer mixture to the pan. Cook the mixture on full flame for , stirring continuously, until the vegetables are slightly tender-crisp and the paneer is lightly cooked. Turn off the flame.

  4. Assemble and Garnish the Sandwich

    Place the well-roasted bread slices on a cutting board. Evenly spread the hot paneer tikka topping over each bread slice. Garnish with cheese strips, chilli flakes, and oregano as desired. You can cut the open sandwiches into triangles or squares before serving. Serve immediately.
