Method
For the pesto, add all the ingredients except the cheese and blend. Once a rough paste has formed, add the cheese and blend until incorporated. The paste should not be completely smooth.
For the sandwich, cut slices of paneer and toast them in a pan until deeply golden on both sides.
In the same pan, toast two slices of bread in a pan with butter on both sides. Spread pesto on both the bread slices. Then add a layer of lettuce, followed by sliced tomato, and finally, the paneer. Close your sandwich and use toothpicks to keep it stable.
