Instructions

  • Prep the Vegetables and Indian cottage cheese
  • Shred the cabbage, carrots, capsicum, and onions into uniform thin strips. In a separate bowl, toss the paneer cubes with lemon, salt, pepper, and chilli powder to let them marinate slightly
  • Blend the Special Sauce
  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a high-speed blender. Crucial Tip: Blend until the mixture is completely velvety and silk-smooth, ensuring there is no graininess from the Indian cottage cheese
  • Make the Spicy Green Chutney
  • Blend fresh coriander, 10 spicy green chillies, garlic, roasted gram (for binding), Tangy and savory seasoning blend, salt, and 1-2 ice cubes (to maintain the bright green color) into a thick paste
  • Assemble the Healthy Coleslaw
  • Mix the special chilli-garlic sauce into the shredded vegetables. Important: Only mix the sauce right before you are ready to eat, otherwise the vegetables will release water and make the sandwich soggy
  • Build and Toast
  • Spread butter and green chutney on multi-grain bread slices
  • Ladle a generous serving of the saucy veg-mix and top with the marinated Indian cottage cheese cubes
  • Toast on a griddle over medium heat with a little butter.
  • Chef’s Hack: Place a heavy plate on top of the sandwich while toasting to apply gentle pressure. This ensures even browning and a super crispy exterior
