Put Your Grill Pan to Good Use

Grilling is an international cooking method that has become very popular in India nowadays. So common is it that we see many bakeries and sandwich vendors replacing their tavas with grill pans!

A grill pan is simple equipment, easily available in India at affordable prices. You get electric grill pans, as well as simple stove-top ones. The electric ones are more popular though. The best thing about grilling is that it is no rocket science and anybody can start grilling right away. Veggies, brushed with oil and seasoned with sea salt, herbs and spices, can be grilled to make delicious accompaniments. On the other hand, you can make more elaborate grilled foods like sandwiches, which are filling enough to be a meal. After a while, you will start inventing your own mouth-watering grilled foods!

Since grilling involves applying dry heat to foods, it has two advantages – it cooks the food faster and also uses very little or no oil. At the same time, it also tends to boost the flavour of most foods, like eggplants or capsicum, making it super tasty.

Spice Up Your Sandwich:

• Flavorful Fillings: Unlike their Western counterparts, Indian grilled sandwiches are packed with flavourful fillings like spiced potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and chilies. Each bite explodes with a symphony of sweet, tangy, and spicy notes.
• Chutney Magic: A key element is the addition of chutney, a condiment made with lentils, coconut, or mint, adding a burst of tanginess and moisture.
• Cheese Bliss (Optional): While not always included, some variations boast a melty layer of cheese, creating a satisfying textural contrast.

Grilled sandwiches, of course, have an evergreen appeal and you can make something extraordinary like the Grilled, Tomato, Eggplant and Paneer Sandwich instead of a plain cheese or veggie grilled sandwich.
