Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- handful of chives, finely sliced
- 40g cheddar, grated

- 8 slices of white bread
- mango chutney, to serve (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard and cumin seeds. When they start to pop, add the chilli and onion, and cook over medium heat for 10-12 mins until the onions begin to caramelise.
- STEP 2
Transfer the cooked chilli and onion to a large bowl, add the chives and both cheeses, then mix well. Season with ½ tsp salt and a pinch of black pepper.
- STEP 3
To cook the sandwiches, you can use either a toastie maker or frying pan. Butter a slice of bread and spread with some of the paneer filling, then top with another slice and press gently.
- STEP 4
Heat 1 tsp butter in a pan and cook the sandwich over medium heat for 2-3 mins until golden, before flipping it over to cook the other side (add another 1 tsp of butter to the pan if needed). Serve the sandwich straightaway.
