Indian Cottage Cheese Jaffles- Vegetarian Protein Rich- Ultimate Comfort Food

Did you know, a Jaffle is an Australian name for closed toasted sandwich? It’s an Aussie invention. The first electric jaffle maker was released in 1974 that seal and cut a sandwich. When it comes to the iconic jaffle, there is something about the crispy sealed edges and perfectly cut triangular chambers of gooey goodness that makes them simply irresistible. This ultimate comfort food makes the perfect anytime meal or snack, and takes the humble sandwich to the next level.

I have sweet childhood memories attached to jaffles. My mother would often fix us quick breakfast with leftover sabji from last night, add her own touch of masalas to make it even more flavourful and turn it into delicious jaffles. As a child this used to be one of favourite breakfast options.

These paneer jaffles are my 10 year old and family’s favourite. I am sure every one of you have had jaffles atleast once. Every household has its own recipe. So sharing one out of many of my jaffle recipes with you. These are different, tastes very fresh, summery and of course it’s super healthy. I can bet you are going to love it. Do try!
