Paneer Bhurji Sandwiches
High-protein, super flavorful, and full of nostalgic comfort—this is my go-to party snack! Mom used to make these whenever friends came over, and now I love serving them bite-sized at tea parties, kitty parties, or as easy appetizers. They’re filling, delicious, and even perfect for school lunch boxes
