A Panini is a classic Italian grilled sandwich made with a special bread, stuffed with vegetables or meat or both together. It is then warmed in a Panini Press.

If you don't have a Panini Press, you can easily make this sandwich on a heavy cast iron skillet by keeping some heavy weight on it so that the vegetables and meat gets cooked to perfection and grill marks appear on the sandwich.

I have made this sandwich with multi-grain bread and it is loaded with roasted vegetables; eggplant, red onion, bell pepper, carrot, sprout moong (lentils) and topped with slice cheese. You can use any cheese of your choice.

Instead of the regular pepper powder, I have used the magical Indian Tandoori Masala powder, little bit since it is a veggie sandwich. If you use chicken or lamb for this recipe, you can use a bit more quantity of the masala powder.

So, friends, try this quick and delicious vegetarian meal and enjoy!!!
