Mild and dense paneer cheese on creamy, slightly tart labneh
Paneer cheese and labneh are two of the most popular cheeses used in Middle Eastern cuisine. Both are versatile and tasty and bring a distinctive flavour and texture to the sandwich. Paneer cheese is a fresh Indian cheese made from cow milk and has a dense, crumbly texture and a mild, milky flavour perfect for adding richness to the paratha sandwich filling.
Labneh, on the other hand, is a Middle Eastern cheese made from strained yoghurt. It is tart, creamy, and has a thick, spreadable consistency, making it the perfect base for the paratha sandwich. The tanginess of labneh works as a perfect counterbalance to the sweet and crisp flavours of the vegetables, creating a delicious and well-balanced dish.

Use light and fluffy flatbread for sandwiches
Paratha bread is an Indian delicacy that is flaky, layered, and quickly becomes the star of the show especially for breakfast. With its crispy golden-brown exterior and soft, light, fluffy interior, it is no wonder that paratha is the best bread to hold the delicious cheese and vegetable paratha sandwich fillings. The bread’s mild, buttery flavour adds just the right amount of richness to the sandwich without overpowering the other flavours. The crispy exterior gives way to a soft and chewy interior, making every bite a true sensory experience and balancing the crispy vegetables.
Experiment with the paratha fillings
When it comes to making the perfect paratha sandwich, there is one thing that is for sure: it is all about the filling. The good news is, with a little creativity, you can adjust the filling to suit your individual taste. Do not be afraid to mix things up and add your favourite vegetables to the mix.
Bell peppers, cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes are a classic combination, but why not add some roasted zucchini, shredded carrot, or even some spicy jalapenos for a little kick? The buttery bread can balance most ingredients, so you can easily try something different with your paratha sandwich fillings.
