A fusion sandwich that combines pesto with all time favorite Paneer,corn and cheese to make one delicious sandwich. I love experimenting with different ingredients and this was a successful experiment!

When you just don’t want to cook an entire meal yet want something easy,satisfying and hot, then the Spinach Veggie Pesto Sandwich on Ciabatta Bread,and Portobello Mushroom Sandwich/Burger are both great options. Combine these sandwiches with a bowl of soup or salad, and it is a complete meal.

I do make these sandwiches when I have friends over for lunch along with my quick and easy Tamatar ka shorba, using canned Tomato soup. The humble soup is indianised with some spices and it tastes just like the homemade soup mom used to make back home. Shhh, no one needs to know its out of a can. They will think you slaved over it all day. Other soups that I make often to go with sandwiches are Cream of Asparagus Soup and Black Bean Soup/Mexican Inspired Soup.

So here is the written recipe,followed by the pictorial one-
