Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in a pan. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until soft.
Add tomatoes and green chilli, and cook until the tomatoes are soft. Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chilli powder, and garam masala. Stir well.
Add crumbled paneer and salt and mix. Turn off the heat and mix in the chopped coriander leaves. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Spread some green chutney or ketchup on one side of each slice of bread. Add a generous amount of the paneer filling onto one slice and cover it with another.
