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 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.
