Grilled Paneer Sandwich

Written By FewMinute Wonders on Friday, July 13, 2012 | 2:57 PM

Schools have been out for over a month. Swimming lessons, play dates, visits to the park, cycling and traveling has kept us very busy. My daughter has been taking over the kitchen and creating her own snacks or lunch at times. She enjoys being in the kitchen and has always helped me in the past. Personally, I want to encourage her natural flair for cooking, allow her to learn to prepare healthy meals and rejoice in her creations. I have trained myself not to react or not pay much attention to the state of the kitchen counter, after such experiments. Instead, we just pretend that we own a restaurant and I, encourage her to clean up. This afternoon, she made me this open faced grilled paneer sandwich. I was really impressed at her technique in making dressings to go on the bread. This one was special, because she created everything on her own. I had no clue as to what she mixed or toasted, until she gave me her recipe. It tasted light, crunchy and fresh. Give it a try, a recipe from the little 8 year old chef.
