Instructions

Prepare the Filling

Chop the spinach finely. In a small bowl, combine the chopped spinach, paneer (crumbled or thinly sliced), garam masala (if using), red chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Assemble the Sandwich

Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, on a flat surface. Top one slice with half of the spinach-paneer mixture.
Place the remaining bread slices on top, butter-side up.

Grill the Sandwich

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the remaining butter to the pan.
Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and browning.

Serve and Enjoy

Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing in half and serving immediately.
