Tips and tricks
- I have used whole-grain bread for making these sandwiches. You can use any bread of your choice but whole grain or multigrain will provide more fibre and nutrition.
- You can use butter or oil for grilling sandwiches but malai gives a more rich flavour and crispier texture.
- You can add other vegetables like tomato, cucumber, olive etc. if you like.
- Serve them warm for a best taste.
- Don’t leave filling or stuffing for long once it prepared as it starts leaving water and then make the sandwich soggy.
- Also add filling to the sandwiches just before the grilling process.
