Paneer Tikka Manchurian Sandwich

Cooking Time:-
  • Paneer Tikkas - 15 Min.(marinate the paneer for atleast 1/2 hr.)
  • Filing and Rolls - 20 Min.
Serves:- 2, makes 4 rolls

Ingredients:-
  • Spices:-
  1. 200 Grams Paneer cubes
  2. 1 Tbsp. Ginger - Garlic paste
  3. 1/2 Tbsp Turmeric powder
  4. 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  5. 3 Tbsp Tandoori masala powder
  6. 1/2 Tbsp Coriander-Cumin powder
  7. 1/2 Tbsp Red chili powder
  8. 1/2 Tbsp Garam masala powder
  9. 1/2 Tbsp Black pepper (freshly crushed)
  • Vegetables:-
  1. 1 Cup chopped spring onions
  2. 1 Cup thinly sliced onions
  3. 1 Cup thinly sliced Green bell pepper
  4. 1 Cup thinly sliced Red bell pepper
  5. Salt & Sugar to Taste
  6. Hot dog rolls
  7. 1 Tbsp Butter
  • Sauce:-
  1. 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  2. 2 Tbsp Tomato Ketchup
  3. 2 Tbsp Ching's Chili Sauce
  • For Paneer Tikkas:-
  1. In a bowl mix all the spices and vegetable oil and mix well. You could increase the quantity of tandoori masala and reduce the quantity of other masala powders if desired. But the above proportion balances out all the different flavors. Now add paneer cubes to the marinate and set aside for about half an hour.
  2. In a wok or kadai add the butter and let it melt. Now add turmeric powder and onions to it. Saute the onions and then add ginger-garlic paste to it. Saute again and as the onions begin to loose color add all the bell peppers and saute for about 2 minutes.
  3. Once the bell peppers appear to be done add all the sauces and saute till a good consistency is achieved.
  4. Saute all the mixture till the sauce starts to become thick. Now add the marinated paneer cubes along with 2 tbsp of water and mix well.
  5. Cook the whole mixture until the paneer marinate oozes a strong flavor. Don't cook too much. Let there be some juice/gravy left. Now add the spring onions and mix well. Do not add the spring onions before this step as the heat make them loose the green color.
  6. Now heat a pan/tava.
  7. Take the hot dog rolls and fill the paneer mixture from its open side. Do not separate the both parts of the roll.
  8. Apply butter to the rolls and toast them on the pan/tava until the surface becomes crispy like grilled sandwich.
  9. Top the rolls with crispy fried noodles and serve hot.
  • Tips:-
  1. Fried noodles are readily available in market so no need to make them at home.
  2. Usually use fresh gringer garlic paste instead of one that is available in market. Fresh ones give strong flavors and tastes great.
  3. Instead of regular size cubes, use even smaller size cubes. This helps making the whole filing a good homogeneous consistency.
