    The paneer stuffing mixture is cooked here and is called bhurji, which is prepared similarly to egg bhurji. Since my husband doesn't eat eggs when I crave egg bhurji, I usually make this paneer bhurji for dinner.

    The leftovers I use for preparing a sandwich for the next day's breakfast or my kid's lunchbox. Use multi-grain or whole-wheat bread for healthier choices.

    There is another version of the paneer sandwich where the stuffing is uncooked i.e., grated paneer is mixed with onion, chilies, and a few spice powders and stuffed between bread.

    The Paneer Bhurji sandwich is an easy, delicious kid’s favorite sandwich. It is a good start. Here, I have used the tawa to toast the sandwich, but you can use a sandwich maker or grill to toast.

    Another noteworthy tip, if your paneer bhurji is very dry, add 2 tablespoons of milk while preparing the bhurji to make it moist and soft.
