Notes
Check label before buying bread, it has to be 100% whole wheat if you see enriched wheat flour that means they have used all purpose flour/maida in it.

For saving time make stuffing in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

For dairy free version use fresh bread crumb for binding and skip yogurt.

For Gluten free version make it with gluten free bread.

For vegan version use breadcrumb instead of paneer, skip cheese and replace dairy yogurt with vegan yogurt(coconut yogurt or soy yogurt).

If you want to make it with less ingredients then use tandoori masala or curry powder instead of adding all dried spices.

After grilling it in panini maker keep it on the cooling rack so that it won't be soggy.

Use bread of your choice.

Use this stuffing to make tandoori mushroom quesadilla.
