Instructions

For making cottage cheese sandwich ..
Cut 2 inch pieces of cottage cheese into three rectangular slabs
Now each slab cut it into two equal halves to make the sandwich ..like this do it for other two slabs too .
Apply thick pudina chutney in between and press both the halves tightly .like this we have to repeat the same with the others too.
On a grilled pan apply little oil by heating the grilled pan on a medium flame .
Place all the sandwiched cottage cheese rectangular slabs on it .
Press them lightly and once turned brown turn the side. In five minutes the grilled sandwich would be ready ..keep them aside ..

Sauteed them all together ..
Let them become tender . Once tender ... .Allow them to cool ...because we have to make it's smooth paste now.
In a blender jar add all the sauteed ingredients .
Now add the fresh curd too .
Blend them into smooth rich paste .

Add turmeric powder, degi mirch powder , dhania powder , Crushed kasoori methi and garam masala...stir it throughly ..

Immerse them in a hot gravy at the time of serving only and let the gravy masala get infused into the sandwiches...
