Ingredients

Bread slices (as per requirement) 200 g paneer (crumbled) 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp green chutney ¼ cup finely chopped onion ¼ cup finely chopped capsicum 1 small green chilli (finely chopped) ½ tsp red chilli powder ½ tsp chaat masala ¼ tsp black pepper ½ tsp salt 1 tbsp coriander leaves (chopped)

Step 1

In a bowl, add some crumbled paneer with chopped onion, capsicum, green chilliies and basic spices. Mix everything nicely to make a flavourful filling.

Step 2

Add in chopped coriander leaves for that extra freshness. Adjust salt and spices to taste if required.

Step 3

On one side of each bread slice, apply butter, and on the other side of each slice, apply green chutney.

Step 4

Spread the prepared paneer mixture nicely on the chutney-covered pieces. Cover it up with the buttered slice of bread.
