Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices Bread
  • 1 cup Grated zucchini
  • ¼ cup Grated paneer
  • tablespoons Curd
  • 2 tablespoons Gram flour (besan)
  • teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garam masala
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 Green chilies finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Green capsicum finely chopped
  • 1 Tomato finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Spinach finely chopped
  • Ghee as required for toasting

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, take 1.5 tbsp curd in a large mixing bowl. Then, add 1/8 tsp turmeric powder, ¼ tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp garam masala, ¼ tsp black pepper powder, and salt as per taste. After that, mix well to combine the spices with the curd.
  • Next, add 2 tbsp gram flour (besan) to the mixture and mix again until smooth. This will help bind the stuffing together. Once the ingredients are well combined, you can proceed to the next step.
  • Now, to the prepared mixture, add 2 finely chopped green chilies, 2 tbsp chopped green capsicum, 1 finely chopped tomato, 2 tbsp chopped spinach, 1 cup grated zucchini, ¼ cup grated paneer.
  • After adding the vegetables, mix everything well to form a thick spreadable mixture. Make sure the zucchini is in a higher quantity, as it gives the toast a moist and flavorful texture. Then, proceed to the next step.
  • Now, take bread slices and evenly spread the prepared zucchini-paneer mixture on top. Then, press gently so that the mixture sticks well to the bread.
  • After that, repeat the process for all slices and keep them ready for toasting.
  • Next, heat a tawa (griddle) on medium heat and add some ghee. If you prefer, you can also use butter or oil. Then, place the bread on the tawa with the stuffed side facing down.
  • After that, cook on medium heat until the base turns crispy and golden brown. Meanwhile, drizzle a little ghee on top and carefully flip the toast.
  • Then, cook the other side until the bread is well toasted and golden. Once both sides are crisp and evenly cooked, remove from the tawa.
  • Now that your Zucchini & Paneer Toast is ready, serve it hot with curd, mint chutney, or tomato ketchup. Additionally, you can enjoy it with a glass of fresh juice or masala chai for a complete breakfast.

Notes

  • If the zucchini contains a lot of water, squeeze out some moisture before using it.
  • Keep the topping thick enough to spread easily without running off the bread.
  • Cook the toast over medium heat for an evenly crisp and golden finish.
  • Whole-wheat or multigrain bread can be used instead of white bread.
  • Adjust the green chilies according to your preferred spice level.
  • Ghee can be replaced with butter or oil.
  • For kids, reduce or skip the green chilies.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
