How to make Smoked Creamy Paneer Sandwich
Set a wok or a deep pan over high heat. Let it get hot, then add butter and oil and let it heat up as well.
Add the diced paneer, salt, and pepper. Toss the paneer over high flame for 2-3 minutes, then transfer it into a bowl.
In a small mixer grinder jar, add sugar and mustard seeds and grind it into a fine powder. You can also use a mortar and pestle.
Add the mayonnaise, curd, salt, black pepper powder, and the remaining filling ingredients in a bowl and whisk it well.
Place a small bowl on the filling and place a piece of live charcoal in it. Then add a spoonful of ghee and cover the bowl with a lid and let the filling smoke for 3-4 minutes.
Set a deep pan over high flame and pour in the oil to fry the onions. Heat the oil until it gets moderately hot.
Add the sliced onions into the oil and stir well. Fry the onions until they turn light golden brown while stirring them frequently.
Once the onions are almost about to turn light golden brown, remove them from the hot oil using a spider and squeeze out the excess oil by pressing it using a spatula. Then transfer the fried onions onto a tissue paper-lined plate and spread them apart using forks. Your crispy birista is ready.
To assemble the roll, cut open the hot dog bun and apply soft butter. Then add shredded lettuce, smoked paneer filling, birista, and spring onion greens. Your delicious smoked creamy paneer roll is ready.
