Paneer and carrot toast or sandwich

This is an easy dish to make that serves as breakfast for us and as lunch for kids , for making it even simpler u can buy grated carrots from the store or keep some carrots grated before night itself in the fridge and make extra paneer so that you can use it for 2 servings. :-)

Ingredients :
½ cup – crushed paneer
1 cup – grated carrot
2 tbsp – chopped tomato
½ tsp – finely chopped green chili
Salt and pepper to taste
Bread slices


Making crushed paneer :
Boil 2 cups low fat milk in a sauce pan, now add ½ tsp vinegar once milk starts to break turn the heat off......strain it and dab it in a paper towel, you can always make extra and store in the fridge.

Making the spread :
Mix all the above ingredients adding salt and pepper.

Making the toast :
Spread little oil or butter on the bread so it is not too dry, lightly toast the bread.
Now spread the mix u prepared evenly on the toasted bread, in the toaster oven heat these until the paneer is lightly browned (when paneer changes to the color of carrot, it’s the sign the toast is done)

NOTES :

  • To pack this in kid’s lunch…. what I did is I toasted 2 bread slices, spread the mix only on one slice after taking it out of the oven, covered with the second slice making a sandwich.
  • Also I skipped the chilies in the mix.
  • And if your kid’s don’t like the crust I would say just cut the crusts before toasting the bread.
