Why this cottage cheese sandwich?
I'm alone to have my lunch today and I don't feel like cooking for myself. Vegetarian sandwiches are my choice, for the lazy days, where I need not spend hours cooking. Just slice the vegetables, put them inside a soft bread, yes we are done. And no doubt why I chose this paneer bread sandwich.
I finalized on this paneer sandwich recipe, as it does not have any preparation time or long-listed ingredients. I can make with the regular things which are already in my pantry.
So, I planned to go with the cottage cheese sandwiches with a little Indian twist. Cottage cheese can substitute with both slices of meat and just the cheese by itself. And I made this Grilled Lemon Chicken for dinner, you can check if you are looking for a sidekick.
