A step-by-step guide to preparing the ultimate crispy fried paneer sandwich
1. Prepare Crispy Fried Paneer:
- Make the mixture: Combine gram flour, rice flour, chilli flakes, salt and mixed herbs in a mixing bowl. Add water slowly to make a smooth pourable batter.
- Coat the cheese: Dip the homemade masala paneer pieces in the batter, making sure to coat both sides well. Then, coat generously with breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Paneer: Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium flame. Fry the paneer pieces on both sides till they become crispy and golden brown. Keep aside to cool.
2. Assemble the sandwich:
- Prepare the vegetables: Cut the avocado into thin slices and chop the tomatoes too.
- Toast the bread: Toast two pieces of sourdough bread until they’re crisp and golden.
- Make the sandwich: Spread homemade mayo on one side of each toasted bread slice. On one slice, layer avocado slices, tomato slices and crispy fried paneer. Sprinkle mustard sauce to add a tangy flavour.
- Finish and serve: Place the second toasted bread slice on top. Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately.
Tips for the Perfect Crispy Fried Paneer Sandwich
- Make the batter perfect: Make sure the batter is smooth and pourable. Thick batter will not apply evenly, while thin batter may turn out wet.
- Get crispy cheese: Generously sprinkle breadcrumbs over the paneer and press them firmly to make the outside crispy.
- Toast bread the right way: Toast the bread until it’s golden brown and crispy right before assembling to prevent it from getting soggy.
- Gather Wisely: Layer the ingredients evenly so they don’t get soggy. Apply the mayo and mustard in thin layers, and spread the avocado and tomato slices evenly.
Presentation Tips:
For a classic presentation, cut the sandwiches diagonally and arrange them neatly on the plate. Garnish with fresh herbs or a few extra slices of avocado and tomato on the side for a visual appeal.
Different Variations of Crispy Fried Paneer Sandwich

Veggie Delight Sandwich:

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use store bought paneer for this recipe?
Yes, if you don’t have homemade masala paneer then you can use store bought paneer. Just add the spices as per your taste, as store bought paneer may be less tasty. - Can I make this sandwich vegetarian? To make a vegan version, use a plant-based alternative for paneer which could be tempeh or tofu and replace the homemade mayo with vegan mayo. Make sure the bread is vegan friendly too.
- Can I prepare paneer in advance? Yes, you can prepare the paneer and refrigerate it up to a day before making the sandwiches. Heat the paneer in a pan to crisp it before using it.
- Can I use a different type of bread? Absolutely! While yeast dough gives a great flavor and texture, you can use any type of bread you like, such as whole wheat, ciabatta, or rye.
- How can I make this sandwich healthier? To increase the nutrition of the sandwich, you can add more vegetables like lettuce, cucumber slices or thinly sliced ​​capsicum. These add freshness and crunch to your sandwich and make it healthier too.
storage and reheating
storage:
To keep your crispy fried paneer sandwich fresh, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator if you plan to eat it within the next two days.
For best results, keep the sandwich components separate until ready to eat, as this will help the cheese and toast retain their crispness.
Reheating:
When you’re ready to enjoy your sandwich, reheat it to regain its crispy texture. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the sandwich on a baking sheet. Reheat for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is heated through and the bread is crispy again.
If you’re short on time, you can use a toaster oven or a pan on the stove — just be sure to toast or heat it gently to prevent burning.
Avoid heating the sandwich in the microwave, as this can soften the bread and affect the crispiness of the cheese. By reheating in the oven or toaster oven, you will keep the sandwich deliciously crisp and enjoyable.
How to Serve Your Crispy Fried Paneer Sandwiches
For a great meal, serve your crispy fried cheese sandwich with a fresh salad or vegetables. A simple mixed green vegetable salad with a light vinaigrette perfectly complements the rich flavor of the sandwich. You can also add fruit for a refreshing and balanced meal.
Pair the sandwich with your favorite beverage to make your meal even more satisfying. A cold glass of lemonade or iced tea is a refreshing pairing with the crunchy and salty sandwich. If you prefer something warm, a cup of tomato soup or light vegetable broth is a comforting option.
Enjoy your crispy fried cheese sandwiches as a satisfying lunch, a hearty breakfast, or even a light dinner!
