Hey guys! The recipe I am posting today is of a very tasty sandwich type. The sauce and the filling both are made at home and you can store the sauce in the freezer for 4-5 days for repeated use or you can use this same sauce and the filling and mix them together and make a paneer subji also, in that case just add little cream and sugar to the gravy/sauce and water and it will be ready. So lets get cooking…..

3) Then add the mixed herbs, Schezwan sauce, ketchup, mixed herbs. almond paste, garam masala powder and salt and let it cook till the whole mixture starts to leave the oil and the texture is paste like. Finally add the cheese, butter and kasuri methi and mix it and keep aside. The sauce is ready.
For filling:
1) In a pan/wok tale the oil. Let it become warm. Then add the garlic, onion and capsicum and on high flame stir it for 5 minute till half cooked.
2) Now add the paneer ( chopped in small pieces) and add the haldi powder, dhania jeera powder, garlic bread seasoning, salt, chilly flakes and roasted peanut and mix it all well and stir fry on high flame for 2-3 minutes. Once all has mixed together switch off the gas and add the lemon juice and coriander leaves and mix and keep aside.
Note: You can store the filling in a airtight container in the fridge for upto a day.
Final assembly:
Apple sauce generously on two slices of the bread. Add a generous amount of filling in between and then grill the sandwich in a electric griller or tava griller by applying butter on both the outer sides of the bread.
Once done grate some cheese on top and serve (you can add the cheese inside the layer also). Serve hot with ketchup or dahi/curd.
