Half the world may be bracing itself for the onset of winter but out here it is peak summer. Cooking is no fun when it is hot and humid and neither does one want to eat spicy food. A nice change from routine meals are these lovely sandwiches which are light and nutritious. Fresh paneer is mixed with dill and few other ingredients to make a nice spread which is topped with crunchy cucumber slices.
Ingredients:
2 cups paneer
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp dill
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 cucumbers
8- 10 Bread slices
100 gms Butter
Method: In a bowl crumble fresh paneer. Add olive oil, crushed garlic, dill ( soya bhaji), lemon juice and salt, pepper as per taste. Mix well to make a smooth paste. Peel and slice cucumber into rounds. Cut off sides of bread slices.
Now to assemble the sandwiches.... Spread butter on two slices of bread. Place the prepared paneer filling on one buttered slice. Layer it with cucumber slices and cover with the second buttered slice. Press firmly and, using a knife, cut across diagonally. Make the other sandwiches or as many as required in a similar way.
Instead of dill you could use fresh mint leaves or coriander leaves or a mix of coriander and mint leaves. Wrap the sandwiches in cling film, to retain freshness, in case you are not serving immediately.
