OPEN PANEER TIKKA TOASTS, how to make toasts with cottage cheese

 Bored of eating Paneer Tikkas?

Here's a way to eat the Paneer tikkas,  but with a twist!

Healthy, not fried, no unnecessary oil, and baked....

Ingredients

Bread, brown or white as per your choice - 8 slices

Cubed paneer slices - 11/2 cups (home made paneer)

Hung curd - 1 cup

Kitchen King Masala - 11/2 tsps

Kasoori methi - 2 tsps

Tomato - 1, grated

Chopped mint leaves - a handful

Chopped cilantro/coriander - a handful

Red bell pepper - 1/2, chopped

Green bell pepper - 1/2, chopped

Green chutney - as required (with onion - refer here; without onion refer here)

Red chilli flakes

Grated cheese, as required

salt to taste

Recipe cuisine: Indian; Category: Breakfast/lunch/dinner

Prep time: 30 mts; Baking time: 5-10 mts

Yields 8 toasts

 In a bowl, take the hung curd, add kitchen king masala and kasoori methi, and salt to taste

Now the grated tomato

Now the chopped mint and cilantro leaves

Mix well

add the paneer cubes

The colored bell peppers

Mix well, let the paneer and bell peppers marinate for minimum 30 minutes. You can leave it inside the fridge also, to prevent hung curd from turning sour. Then 20 minutes before making, take it out

Line the baking tray with aluminum foil, spray some Olive oil, arrange 4 bread slices and spread green chutney on top

Spread the paneer mixture on top

Sprinkle some red chilli flakes

Top with some grated cheese

Pre heat the Oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes, then slide the baking tray into it, and bake till the cheese melts

Done to perfection!!

Serve with any soup. Seen here is Sweet potato soup.

Notes

Since green chutney is there, I just added Kitchen king masala. Any spice powder is optional. But this itself, trust me, had superb taste.
